THE WORLD'S first floating city will boast its own government and cryptocurrency when it lays roots in the South Pacific in 2022, claim its backers.
Building work on this isolated "utopia" will begin next year following the signing of an agreement with French Polynesia's government in 2017.
The floating town is the brainchild of the Seasteading Institute, a non-profit co-founded by tech billionaire Peter Thiel (who sits on Facebook's board and is a former adviser to US President Donald Trump).
It's teaming up with a private entity called Blue Frontiers to build 300 houses on a seaborne platform off the island of Tahiti that will run under its own governance and boast its own money.

Wonder how utopian it would be if French Polynesia rescinded the deal unless Thiel promised to set aside 20-30% of the spots to some Section 8 recipients, muslim refugees and some MS13 El Salvadorans?
Utopia is a synonym for Hell.
[[THE WORLD’S first floating city will boast its own government]]
Really?
Waterworld.
The Globalists are still banking on a massive One World Government. But I think we are far more likely to end up in a world of smaller social/economic/political units. City-States of one size or another. Look at California: some people want it to be three states. Look at our union of 50 states: Does New England really belong? They don’t want to be part of America; they hate America.
We may see floating islands, orbital facilities, and small geographic regions all claiming sovereignty. By 2100, this world may be a very different place.
But...will they have a ‘Standing Army’...?
So they intend to discriminate? I expect they will have laws that restrict defense of their new country, right?
Some torpedoes, mines, and bombs and it’s Underwater-World.
Degaussing and other countermeasures might be a tad more important.
What could go wrong??? Hell the earth with continents is just a bigger version.....sounds like a pc ethnic cleansing ......I certainly hope they have open borders or docks or whatever....
Fake news.

I’m going with our country splitting in 3, at some point. Southeast, Central, Mountain states, West Virginia/Western Virginia/Western Penn and all the land on the eastern halves of Cali, Oregon and Washington, becoming one. Not sure what Chicago and some other cities like that will do. Most of Illinois is pretty Red except for their 3 major cities.
The very West Coast another and New England/Northeast, who the hell knows. I’m from NY, originally, and much of the Northeast is Republican. But the cities, with their loyal Dem, Socialist, Immigrant, Section 8 base, rule the roosts. Hell, if if weren’t for NYC, and the other smaller cities, NY would probably be Republican across the board. But, it’s hard to beat those inner city, urban monsters. Plus, even in the Red areas with Conservative voters, it’s hard to give up your union bennies. But I think
Which raises the question - is Tahiti in a typhoon or monsoon region?
Nothing you question cannot be taken care of by a sizeable gift of some kind. And, if the island is in international waters, there’s nothing anyone can do. It’ll be like some sort of weird Noah’s Ark on an acid trip. Only instead of them going on board, 2x2, it’ll be how much can you afford. Like one of those SciFi movies where some dude tries to create a utopian society but there’s some legit horrific underbelly to it.
Once the muslims find out about it, it’ll be the Pacific ocean version of the Barbary Pirates. I’m thinking that Thiel already has some housing set aside for all the former SEALS that will be providing security.
