Seasteading - The perfect scientific concept for all is ready

Here the beginning of the homepage (The pictures are gone. If you want to read all, open W-5.(remove distance)net - In the menu choose english, and let google translate from german to english):

From the WELTRAT, the world's best 20-member professor council (including a former German federal minister), based at the University of Cologne

One example of thousands: Here: On the water: A docking element, e.g. seat of the state parliament, state government and state chancellor. The other pictures are also mostly from: Yacht Island Design Ltd. Based in Ripley, Derbyshire/ Great Britain  http://www.yachtislanddesign.com/concepts  

We design, create and  build for you on land and water, not only smaller (900-resident) projects with a super-paradisiacal quality of life, but also entire (up to 80 million inhabitants), completely legitimate and legal low-tax countries, tax havens or tax oases.

These are also ten times better!!! quality of life paradises and oases of peace, love and happiness.

Because they include a completely new social, democratic and economic system plus corporate management concept.

(Through human physics, chemistry and biology back to the true nature of man and human societies.)

And because they are thereby completely freed from all the wrong incentives and infinitely expensive undesirable developments and destruction of happiness and health, because of which all previous states and societies are gradually collapsing or will gradually collapse.

At the expense of you, the most capable people in the world.

You, the world's most capable people, possibly together with co-investors, place your order now  for:

There are endless ideas for floating cities:  https://www.google.com/search?q=Schwimmende+Stadt 

but only here will everything really be thought of.

The plus points for you:

+ Ten times more moments of happiness per week than before

+ The best framework conditions for companies ever

+ Never a shortage of skilled workers because everyone wants to get in

+ Security and protection from natural disasters, fires, crime, violence, wars, revolutions, etc.

Possible docking element pool party zone

+ Lowest taxes, duties, energy prices, least bureaucracy in the world

+ The healthiest, most toxin-free food in the world

+ No interference in your business in the old states

+ Immense wealth

+ Permanent, huge economic miracles

+ Everyone is a best friend: Every person in the New Societies (including politicians in the First Real Democracy) will only be rewarded if they have proven to have improved your well-being, your health, your longevity and your prosperity!!!

+ Always wonderful weather

+ The most paradisiacal for you as a member: free leisure and weekend offer from your health insurance and family doctor health community in the mega sports (dance) party double dome with mega luxury wellness and health area in between (from practices to operating rooms with the world's best robotic-assisted internet operators for all eventualities, from sauna and the like to massage course and cuddle party areas to massage cabins and much more

+ Set an example for the old, failing states, be a role model for them that will hopefully be imitated, which may then make them healthy. (So: Maybe at the same time, perhaps quite incidentally, solve the climate, environmental and even war(!) and many other problems of the old states FREE OF CHARGE(!!!) = Best sustainable green ethical ecological impact investing, doing good with added value? - And at the same time get sparkling clean air + toxic-free swimming water? Please call to find out the "how" of the " FREE " (keyword: trigger a positive worldwide chain reaction of imitation through role model effect, maximum return plus saving the world, how?).) 

Living ten times happier in super paradise islands / gated communities / cities / paradise super states on land or at sea - how does that work technically?

For example, on water:

One to thousands of ELEMENTS DOCKED together (of the same size?) and designed and filled as desired on top of the platform create states of any size. - Would you prefer your paradise "ON LAND" rather than "ON WATER" or just a work permit for paradise projects up to states? Let's chat about all your questions by phone

Proposal: Charting a New Course: The Nomad Flotilla – A Pragmatic and Sustainable Approach to Seasteading

The seasteading movement envisions a future of human communities thriving on the open ocean. However, the dominant paradigm of static platforms and micronations faces insurmountable legal and logistical obstacles. This proposal advocates for a paradigm shift towards a more practical and achievable model: the Nomad Flotilla, offering a robust and adaptable pathway to sustainable ocean-based living, leveraging the potential of digital governance and a cryptocurrency-based economy.

The Static Platform Impasse:

The pursuit of micronations on static platforms confronts fundamental challenges:

International Law: Establishing sovereignty in international waters is legally impossible under current international law. Micronation claims lack legal recognition and expose communities to significant risk.

Economic Vulnerability: Static platforms are inherently vulnerable to economic fluctuations due to their fixed location and limited access to diverse resources and markets.

Security Concerns: Isolated and immobile platforms are exposed to natural disasters, piracy, and other security threats, requiring costly and complex defense measures.

Logistical Bottlenecks: Maintaining essential supplies and services for a static platform presents a continuous logistical challenge and significant expense.

The Nomad Flotilla: A Path to Sustainable and Resilient Seasteading

The Nomad Flotilla model offers a dynamic and resilient alternative. It envisions a diverse and interconnected community of vessels, ranging from individual sailboats to purpose-built ferrocement platforms and specialized support ships. This modular approach fosters incremental growth, adaptability, and community collaboration. Furthermore, the flotilla will leverage cutting-edge technologies to enhance governance and economic activity.

Key Advantages of the Nomad Flotilla:

Legally Sound: Operating within established maritime law, the flotilla avoids the legal pitfalls of micronation claims, ensuring greater security and stability.

Economically Robust: Mobility allows the flotilla to pursue diverse income streams, including sustainable industries (aquaculture, mariculture, renewable energy), tourism adapted to varied legal jurisdictions, specialized services, and digital enterprises. Following favorable weather patterns and seasonal opportunities maximizes resource utilization and minimizes operational costs.

Enhanced Security: The flotilla's mobility and distributed nature reduce its vulnerability to targeted attacks and natural disasters.

Global Community Synergy: A diverse community of nationalities and flag states brings a wealth of skills, knowledge, and cultural perspectives, fostering innovation and resilience. This "melting pot" approach:

Navigates Legal Frameworks: Vessels flagged in different states allow the community to strategically access beneficial regulatory environments for specific activities, within the bounds of international law.

Promotes Resourcefulness: The combined expertise of diverse nationalities strengthens self-sufficiency through shared skills and collaborative problem-solving.

Expands Trade Networks: Multiple flags facilitate access to a wider range of trade partners and markets, boosting economic diversity and stability.

Digital Governance and Cryptocurrency Economy: A decentralized, transparent, and secure governance system based on blockchain technology and smart contracts will streamline decision-making, resource allocation, and dispute resolution. A cryptocurrency-based economy will facilitate efficient and secure transactions within the community and with external partners.

A Call to Action: Building a Sustainable Future on the Ocean

This proposal calls for a shift in focus within the seasteading movement. We invite collaboration with individuals and organizations interested in developing the Nomad Flotilla concept, contributing expertise in naval architecture, sustainable technologies, legal frameworks, community governance, blockchain technology, and cryptocurrency systems. By embracing practicality, adaptability, community, and technological innovation, we can chart a realistic and sustainable course toward a thriving future on the open ocean.
