 If each person in #nostr put in 100000 sats we can use the money to buy a remote island and found a city state by buying the land from some willing country.

We've all spent more money zapping memes.

Who's in? #asknostr 
 That's all it would take?  
 Sure, money and a country that needs it. A state only exists when others recognize it. We will have magic dogs and cats as ambassadors. 
 Yes! 
 cat's will be our kings and dog's will be our guardians  
 🖐️ Me! 

What country would sell us land AND allow us sovereignty, though?  
 idk but i'm planning to long term migrate to mongolia

you get permanent residence by buying property in mongolia, plus it's probably the safest piece of ground on the planet in any case 
 We need to buy up a group of island all around each other that you can easily go back and forth from.  
 If you're asking someone to ALLOW you sovereignty, then you don't understand it. 
 Okay, island or archipelago. First important decision 🤓 
 Archipelago. More islands better than one island. 
 better to pick a wasteland that we know how to build up over generations (carbon, etc) islands are very unstable ground, better to choose elevated mountain plateaus imo, flood risk, tsunami, etc 
 Details plz 
 Many tried. There is no "willing country". 
But you can find peace in Galt Valley around 29°39'S 50°34'W

 In .. right away !

with my plastic swords ready to defend the promised land  :-)  
 Let's crowd fund this!

Off grid living in Patagonia!

35 mil for that much acreage is only $321.91 per acre!

 Let's just rollup and claim squatters rights 
 I'm in! I subscribe to private island newsletter. I'd LOVE to live in Patagonia!!! 
 I would love to see it happen. A free city state. 

But, one thing is land ownership, sovereignty is another. 


 
 "bitland"  
 In ! 
 🤝 
 then the economic decision would be based on the friction of such a mass migration (mass, i mean, you know, 35k)

this is a pretty complex evaluation to make, i've been busy with that whole equation for a long time and for me, bosnia and mongolia are the two prime candidates, and i have direct experience with bosnia, friction levels are low especially with an organised group
