FAQ

General

How will it all start in practice?

First stage will happen entirely in inner waters of some country, where modules will behave same way canal boats do.

Second stage starts when more than ~100 modules will be accumulated, construction of a bigger unit that is similar to a cruise ship may begin. This structure may spend some time outside of 20 miles range, where most laws of a host country dont apply.

Third stage is when ~100 units will be gathered together, at this stage permanent structure may be built. It will able to spend almost all of it time outside of 200 miles range, in neutral waters, where only international laws apply.

How all of this will be built?

We put idea of a modular structure to the extreme. If everything is built from the same building blocks, and it is easy to quickly disconnect and attach these blocks back again, rebuilding may be an easy process

Social

What about the law?

We plan to fully obey the law of the country on which territory we are currently located. All of the freedom bonuses we plan to extract from moving further away from anyones border.

Do you plan to start your own country?

No, this is a complex process that cost too much time and money. Our goal is to provide a way for anyone to enjoy the freedom without having to build their own country. We plan to leave the territory unclaimed and encourage others to do the same. This way we all can enjoy the benefit of not being forced to be a part of some particular country.

Can I copy everything you have on my own?

Sure, that is our goal, to help you do it with as few hassle as possible.

Do I have to agree with your ideology?

No. We will make sure you can get all the information needed to build your island even if we dont agree with you.

What about pirates?

Each island would have to find their own way to deal with the crime, and with more islands built pirating might become a more serous treat than it is now, if nothing is done about it. Best way to deal with it is the same as it is done today. International laws against piracy and cooperating with countries who do fight pirates seems to work well.

What if any counntry try to capture your island?

Do you plan to sell modules?

Yes, as any other business. If we can benefit from selling some of them, we will. This will help us do even more exciting stuff.

What about citizenship and pension?

We plan to leave it as it is now. Consider your time spent on a floating island as a very long journey. Possibly lasting your entire life. We encourage you to save your current citizenship, in case something goes wrong, it will help you as a backup plan. There are many ways to solve problem of providing the needed help to the non-working population. We do not plan to make a country, so this will have to be solved for each island as their people see fit, per island. But private pension funds most likely will be happy to help you, even from other countries.

Are you going to build utopia?

Economics

It will be very expensive

But still expensive for normal people

Which currency do you plan to use on islands?

Construction

Too small - you will be destroed by first wave

No protection from hurricane

I have idea...

Let`s by old tanker or oil rig.

We can collect plastic rubbish in ocean and build modules from it
