Some of us must have, at some point in our lives, fantasized about living in the air...lol...dreams come true, but in this case...it's living in a country on the Pacific Ocean.
It has been claimed that a group called the Seasteading Institute will start building a city on the seaborne platform in 2019. The floating nation will set sail in the Pacific Ocean off the island of Tahiti in 2020.
The Seasteading institute is a United States firm, and has signed an agreement with the French Polynesia's government, and is supported by Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal.
The President of the Seasteading institute, Joe Quirk, hopes that thousands of floating nations will set sail by 2050, and will be inhabited by people who want to be free from the government, politicians, bosses and bureaucrats.
He earlier explained his vision in a book called - "Seasteading: How Floating Nations Will Restore The Environment, Enrich The Poor, Cure The Sick and Liberate Humanity From Politicians".
"Governments just don't get better", Joe Quirk told the New York Times.
To me, this seems to be a very create plan, and at the same time, a way to escape from governments.
Living on the Ocean?...sounds Fantastic.
But wait o...when this floating nation is ready, would you leave your country to become a citizen?
As for me , I keep my answer to myself, but let me know yours in the comments.lol.
