Whatever happened to that island some rich guy created to establish a free government experiment?
Recall a 60 minutes special and then rumblings of in fighting among the people and then nothing.
Recall reading a article similar to this 2 years ago here as well that turned out to be a scam of sorts.
Of course it didn't materialize.
People who usually are starting a "nation" with no government find themselves pretty fast they don't have a clue how to install a water pump not speaking about a working infrastructure.
And the last project I remember was to be set between Serbia and Croatia, a zone full of mines that will be removed by 2022.
Let's be serious, a country that ask for 58 bitcoins to be its citizen is not a good country to her people. 58 bitcoins, this is enormous, I worked for 10 years (my best productive years) and what I would had now (if I haven't sold my 0.54 bitcoins this summer) were 0.71 bitcoin.
So I would have to work for another 580 years (with what I am paid now) to have 58 bitcoins to pay for the citizenship in a Pacific country where I do not have the possibility to go because the planes of my country (a medium decent country from Europe) do not fly there.
It is not intended for normal people and of course not for europeans.
Those that are interested in the citizenship are from Asia and Africa because a Vanatu passport will get you visa free in the Schengen Area.
But is a bit tricky situation because Vanatu does not recognize a second citizenship.
