Maybe that's the wave of the future. Don't like your country's politics, just go build your own.

Impossible, unless you mean by force.

A political/economic biodome....Pauly Shore is writing the screenplay already. I hope they have good fishing skills or can trade with salt like the old days...otherwise their lack of natural resources will render it infeasible.

Not if they can trade information. Such as better medical devices, engineering, and IT.

Its possible, but unlikely, because their isolation will even stunt any R&D progress.

it's just going to be a colony for people with office jobs? what kind of offices? =p they'll have to trade for/import everything.

One of my many ideas as a budding entrepreneur was a floating city built out of old ships/oil rigs..One could fish, there would be tourism, plenty of ways to grow food that doesn't require dirt..true they are limited but not to a point that things can't be overcome.

Cool idea.

A link to one donation showed another concept with a windmill attached.

They've been talking about this for years and it makes sense for the ever expanding population..who knows..maybe one day we'll move everyone offshore and the land will be strictly for farming and raising livestock.
