Welcome future please support a great endeavor. My project it create a nation using the vast empty oceans. Like all great projects this will be accomplished in stages.
Stage 1
This campaign is the first step in bringing life to a nation. Like the old saying goes “All great journey’s begin with a single step.”
The money raised will go towards purchasing two cargo ships.
The cargo ship pictured below is listed for sale at 2.5 million dollars. One cargo ship will be anchored securely to a seamount and the other cargo ship will be used to ferrie needed supplies to and from the stationary ship.
Seamounts are underwater mountains. They raise to just 20 to 200 feet below the water. 200 feet may sound deep but the ocean floor averages over twelve thousand feet deep.
The ship that is anchored will become the “land” of New Atlantis.
Stages 2
The land of New Atlantis will be installed with hydroponic farms to provide fresh food to the citizens, a desalination plant for fresh water, wind turbines to provide clean energy, living quarters, and in this step a small data center for economic growth.
In this stage it is vital to have a strong economy that will pay for future expansion. A data center is compact, does not need constant influx of goods like a manufacturing plant would need, and offers services internationally without shipping costs and complications.
The data center will be comprised of IBM mainframes that have a starting cost of $75,000.00 for the most basic and bare bones systems. If we assume a budget of 2 million that works out to be close to 27 mainframes to start with and each mainframe can be upgraded as needed.
The money raised in this campaign will go towards these first two steps. Five million for two cargo ships, two million for the data center, and the remaining three million will go to purchasing the vital winds turbines, hydroponics gardens, desalination plant, living quarters, and other operating expanses such fuel and labor.
But this is only the beginning.
Stage 3 will be to purchase used cruise ships to expand living spaces.
Stage 4 will be to manufacture true homes for New Atlanteans and there descendants.
This step will use two abundant materials that are resistant to salt water corrosion, long lasting, cheap, and easy to work with, “Plastic” and “Aluminum”. Plastic has a estimated life of one thousand years and though it is not good to throw in a land fill, utilizing plastic will last 3 times longer then the United States has been in existence. When our great great very great grand sons and daughters need to replace their habitat they will surely have invented something better.
Now for the government. It will be a constitutional monarchy. The House of the Nobles will have more voting power, form a knight with five votes up to the king who has 30% of all noble votes with 51% passing said vote unless citizens vote it unconstitutional.
Again I ask the future New Atlanteans to please support this great endeavor. New Atlantis Kickstarter Campaign
