This post caught my eye:
If a small team of Silicon Valley millionaires get their way, in a few years, you could have a new option for global citizenship: A permanent, quasi-sovereign nation floating in international waters.
With a $500,000 donation from PayPal founder Peter Thiel, a Google engineer and a former Sun Microsystems programmer have launched The Seasteading Institute, an organization dedicated to creating experimental ocean communities “with diverse social, political, and legal systems.”
Sending a bunch of millionaires floating away on an island…sounds good to me! I have a few names I’d like to suggest. I’ll provide the MRE’s. Seriously, don’t these guys have anything more productive to do with their money? A floating commune?

Going to take a little more than $500k.
This sounds like fun. Floating on a raft of plastic bottles with a bunch of libertarian whackjobs. Daily discussion topics include Ayn Rand and which person we should eat first when the generator dies.
Kinda reminds me of Waterworld.
Did Cevin Costner already sign up? 🙂
Such colonies if ever made would turn out to be a great hideout for the drug and smuggling mafias !
