The concept is a good one, especially the no fucking welfare idea. Geeeeeee fucking novel, eh?

grandiose it is. based on randoms communicating (ie. internet-based sites such as qbn), i could see how it could fall into Lord of the Flies mentality quite quickly. Especially basically being secluded into an ocean-locked territory.

Peter Thiel is known for having big ideas before everyone else - he launched Paypal, funded Facebook, and is now interested in building his very own start-up countries in the far off, open ocean. The self-made billionaire is working closely with the Seasteading Institute to create sovereign nations in international waters, free from the laws of any country.
A well known Libertarian, Thiel suggests these islands may be instrumental in “experimenting with new ideas for government.” One theory implements libertarian ideals such as no welfare, no minimum wage, looser building codes, and fewer weapons restrictions. Another more capitalistic approach called Appletopia, has a corporation starting the country as a business where the more popular it becomes the more valuable the real estate.
