that concept (Universal Studios) image is impractical and not very versatile. Your article states "Highly rugged, modular constructions that make it easy to attach your home to your micro-nation of choice but just as easy to detach it and move away." which suggests floating cities made up of many separate ships/barges of varying sizes that can easily connect/disconnect. So, why would you use such an out dated, hollywood, cutting room floor, inaccurate visual along side your article. Laziness comes to mind, or perhaps a subtle way to mock the concept.

That is indeed the question. The idea, I believe, is that any seastead can try out any social arrangement it wants. It follows that those that fail to make a workable environment for their citizens will lose their populations to others that do.

And who's in charge of these floating nations? The highest bidder as king, or is it some kind of utopian collective? First palm tree and country-shaped islands, now this!
