OROBTC if you want to argue the position of an extreme mad max world into a bottomless pit, then I won't stand in your way. That is why we are also working on an anonymous Knowledge Age.

My point is assuming a world that still has some semblance of law, respect for international law which they explicitly ratified on a country-by-country basis, and respect for property rights then I offer a proposal.

Btw, there is an incredibly remote (no airplane service within 1000 kilometers) island nation with only 56 citizens (who will I presume likely be impoverished if cruise ships stop running in a global economic collapse) which will be ripe for buyout in the coming global economic collapse.

Would The Philippines respect your sovereignty if someone bought one of the islands on the "margin" (remote)? Bet they would not, bet they would not respect UN rulez (technicalitiez) re "stateless people".

Only 56 people? It's not Nauru (my first guess, 10,000 there (Wikipedia)).

Ahh, got it. Pitcairn. I wonder how much they would want (and we pay them to leave)? It is (story link below) a British Overseas Territory, so might not be for sale. Would guess NOT.

Here's a story with pictures for the readers of this thread on Pitcairn, no one wants to move there (wiki also has an article):

Looks kind of nice actually...

It's a floating island. The promoters are attempting to make treaties with various nations and island nations, to allow them a place near their nation to build their floating island. Once built, it could be floated anywhere.

Cool

Nice. I hope they'd be able to share the technology. Many of the larger cities here in the Philippines are near the coastline and would probably be submerged when the water level rises.

I would think that, at least to start with, they will use some standard technology that's already out there. For example, many people are ignorant of the fact that you can make boat hulls out of concrete. Yet this is standard boat-building knowledge.

Cool
