If we live on a boat, we need to name it New Sea-Land.... Like, y'know, New Zeeland?

*hides from incoming rage*

It's really sad that there's no no-mans-land anymore in this world, everything is owned by someone so they would probably just come and kick us out. Even every part of the freakin' oces is owned by someone, and if we pick the wrong place Cthulu (some please fix the spelling) will come and devour us...

We need to CREATE an island, in international waters. Therefore being able to take claim over it, swear neutrality, and our defense will simply be, "Too small and insignificant to take any notice of". Along with our own weapon of choice for any crazy ass pirates :).

Can't we just build something like Outer Haven and live happily? This is sounding more and more like Outer Heaven or Zanzibar Land, but for us Escapists. Neither of those ended well.

... then again, neither did Outer Haven. Let's scrap those plans. Can I just build Arsenal Gear for defense?
you want to build a metal gear?
for shame, if you think this wont work so badly that we need arsenal gear to defend it.
200 RAY's will be good enough ^_^
Arsenal Gear has the purified hydrogen bomb though. RAY can't fire one.
ahh, but arsenal can be easily hacked as the entire thing is computer based,
whearas with a RAY, there is a pilot who could spot a hack and quickly switch over to manual controls.
You have a point. It wouldn't take too long to produce a large group of them for defense purposes either... *pondering*

Fixed it for you. And we can just train some narwhals. They're like the jedi of the sea. They stop Cthulhu eating ye.

We build it under the sea. We'll use cool fifties styling and architecture! We'll do cool research forbidden on the surface! After all, is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
No! We should make a floating city! It'll be powered off of poniosity and whatnot! It is possible, I tell you! As a backup, we could try to get Ultrajoe to kick a giant fan once a day and keep it spinning fast enough to keep us aloft.

And I can certainly help with defense.

As for leadership...I'm happy with the mods keeping the reigns. And over them would be the staffers who deign to join us, who appoint the mods.
Remember who you're catering for - some of the escapist nation members might be prone to seasickness!

I either agree the with the underwater idea, or suggest underground. There's so much space down there! Theoretically. Also who doesn't like Dungeon Keeper?

Let's take over the Moon and turn it into a massive spaceship (or we find out it is, in fact, already a spaceship [cookie for reference])

I'm feeling Samoa but can we annex Antartica? I've always wanted to own a penguin ranch.
Well Canada has a decent military, but most of their land is unused and the rest is sparsly populated by a few from a people who think they have a god given right to the dirt they stand on (even though they lost a war) and they also think anyone with pale skin owes them something.

I'm somewhat worried that the general gist of this thread is to:

1. Go Andrew Ryan on an Underwater city.
2. Copy NC and invade Molassia.
3. Install a Socialist government.
4. Invade Antartica and engage in the Penguin trade.
5. Build a city out of radioactive metal that shall nuke whales.
6. Count on Ultrajoe to run a nation (We veterans of the Escapist on Nationstates know how that turns out.)
7. Hollow out/Replicate Mt. Vesuvias ans live there.

None of these Ideas would work.

However if we pool all our money into one large amount we could approach the World Bank with an offer to buy Iceland. A country with an established infrastructure. With cities. And it is also the headquarters of CCP meaning free EVE ONLINE for all.

Failing that there is always Lichtenstein I suppose.

All we need is to keep an eye out for one guy in a cardboard box and we'll be fine.

lets build it on the moon so if anyone attacks us it would take a year before they can prepair one ship to us and we would be pretty ready for that

@Agent Larkin; I see your Iceland, and raise you one Belgium good sir.
Let's just invade a small island in international waters, claim neutrality.. but little will the world know that our Nation is stockpiling Nukes, and with our supreme knowledge on the dropping of whales. We can force the Japanese whale market to be directly manipulated by us!

It would fail dramatically, as everyone would spend too much time on video games and trying to be creative, when they have no real skills.

Guys. Guys! GUYS!

Slow down. It's a cute idea, but it's a logistical nightmare. I mean, the easiest thing to do is live off a giant ship, like a converted aircraft carrier so that we may occupy international waters BUT! even IF we managed to pull off something like that, have you even begun to fathom how quickly we'd get sick of each other?
I like the way you think, my beardless friend, let's live onboard our own fleet of Aircraft Carriers! (I don't know about you guys, but I will name my ship "Rivet City" or "Nostromo")
Our National Defences will not be any problem because our homes are floating fortresses!
Some carriers can be converted into agriculture areas to produce our food, unless the power of science can present a better option.
That will be our haven untill we can build a fleet of SPACE SHIPS! Because in space no one can hear you play...

And that leads us to our most serious problem. When we live in our [insert]haven, how will we connect to internet? Shall we have satelites to provide us with internet?
