If I started my own nation...

[blacksails]

If I started my own nation, would you join?
Would you be willing to by military means defend against the country from which we stole our territory from?
We would be a nation with the principles of "Be nice" (yes, marijuana would be legal).
We would be a nation where you only work a few hours a week with communal stuff like farming, fishing or building, and in exchange you'd get a house to live in and organic food (and most of the time you could whatever you want, like: lie on the beach and getting high).
Weapons would be banned unless we were invaded (there would be no reason to have them otherwise).
Hard drugs would be illegal (like heroin or cocain).
We would live in harmony with nature, and our electricity would be 100% renewable.
We would have a direct-democracy, so everyone could get their voice through.
Yeah, basically start an utopia?

Which of you would join?

It could be, I don't know. This was just an idea I got, so this could be a new island, or an island already claimed by some country.
Well then, I'll make sure there are some hot babes when I start it!

Yes, if the prostituted person wanted to be prostituted it would be ok.

Do you guys ever played Bioshock? Have you ever seen Rapture? If yes you will know how this would end, this whole 'utopia country' dream.

Nope. It is different. I am trying to build an artificial island in the international waters. He is talking about seceding from an already sovereign nation. Both options have its own advantages, and disadvantages.

yes, but bryants version is legal and the other one is not

if we want international support and recognition we must do only what is legal

Just remember that his idea could be considered illegal according to international law, since none has ever tried that before (I totally support that idea anyway! ).


Yes, it's true that my country would not be "legal", but then, who decides if it's legal or not? The rest of the world? Sure, they can tell me it's illegal, but that wouldn't change the fact that I had an independent country. This project (which is only hypotecally) would not give a fuck about what the rest of the world thought of us. Sure, they could invade us, but as long as we are willing to defend it against the invaders we could succeed (because if they invade and kill all people in a place that they do not recognize a country, it would be considered murder by the rest of the world).

[bryant.coleman]

Yes... I have to concede that right now I am in the grey zone... that is not much is defined. I am still gathering all the available information and studying the legal prospects.

are you serious? join some new county and defend it in military? no way
life is too precious to be on a whim of your business

Don't join then. Hopefully we wouldn't even have to defend it, loss of life is just unnecessary.
However, if they do attack we have to defend, otherwise we cannot build our utopia.

of course, none of us would join if it was otherwise

[sanjoea]

Nice plan, but is it possible ?

[blacksails]

Nice plan, but is it possible ?

Yes, as long as people believe in it (and are willing to fight for it, which they were not in Minerva for example).
