Paypal Founder Helping Build Artificial Island Nations

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday August 16, 2011 @09:20AM from the principality-of-sealand-declares-war dept.

MadMartigan2001 writes with a pretty crazy article on a project involving floating libertarian paradises. From the article: "PayPal founder and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel has given $1.25 million to an initiative to create floating libertarian countries in international waters. Thiel has been a big backer of the Seasteading Institute, which seeks to build sovereign nations on oil rig-like platforms to occupy waters beyond the reach of law-of-the-sea treaties."

Look. We killed a pig!
We stole up on it!
You let the fire out.
We can light it up again.
You should have been
with us, Ralph.
There was lots of blood!
You should have seen it.
