[quote user="grant.w.underwood"]And if you were to argue if the planet became 10x larger over night it would even be worse. The world's government have the power and would just lay claim to it, and then lease the land to the public or sell which would make them more powerful.[/quote] I'm not sure if I agree with this.

[quote user="Clayton"]Territorial monopoly is always and everywhere an economic phenomenon. We have been seeing a long-term breakdown in the primacy of territorial monopoly for quite some time.

[quote user="Jon Irenicus"]I think fragmented states/micro-states will be something to look forward to as they'll put much more intense pressure on governments to compete[/quote] I am hopeful but not sure if we will learn from our past.

[quote user="Freedom4Me73986"] What's wrong with wanting to leave collectivist civilization and be 100% self-sufficient? [/quote] I'm too lazy for that. I like it when other people make my clothes, grow my food and clean my house.
