Having just finished playing Bioshock for the first time ( I know, it's been out for years), this now strikes me as an incredibly bad idea.

You do know that it would save you more than that 20%...

True,

But being the only agent on "the cloud" and knowing what a bunch of scroungers you lot are my 20% would soon be lost at the bar

Is this a elaborate way of paying 0% tax?

If so, I'm in.

We're gonna need bigger guns.

Or smaller enemies. Is there an island off a french dependency somewhere?

IIRC there was an attempt to build an artificial sand bar independent state but the local army (Fiji?) demolished it.

This is the problem with autonomous states - other states like to destroy them using their military.

Nothing new, this type of idea has been mooted for years. Try looking at some old USENET post from the late 80's. Actually as Google have all the newsgroups archived then thats probably where they got the idea from, plagiarists...

Actually a small local community like that is one time a socialist model is actually sustainable i.e. a commune.
