40 acres. 16 hectares. A 400m x 400m block (equivalent). Not sure that's really enough for a city. A very small town perhaps.

The big thing here, is that it's a way for Corporations to basically not be bound by all the laws of the state. That's, concerning. For all the reasons that have been covered numerous times in scifi dystopian media.


Will this fare better than the MS Satoshi?

Or Liberland, Galt's Gulch in Chile, Sealand, the Republic of Minerva or that place in NH that was overrun by bears?

Never a dull moment in the crypto/libertarian quest for freedom!
