题文

Ever thought of moving to a new country? How about starting a new country? Patri Friedman is planning to do just that. He left Google years ago to t up the Seasteading Institute. And his dream is to build asteads-----floating micro-nations in the middle of the ocean.So, what will life on a astead be like? Probably a bit like life on a crui liner (游轮), but much larger, with shops, gyms, swimming pools, schools and other areas. In fact, the early asteads may actually be specially-rebuilt crui liners. But as science advances, Friedman believes they’ll become more like floating cities, with veral hundred people.Seasteading rais a lot of questions. First of all, how will the new countries make money? The Seasteading Institute has suggested veral money-making ideas, including ocean-bad theme parks, casinos (赌场) and fish farming. There’s also the questions of safety. With storms, typhoons and pirates (海盗) , the high as are a dangerous place. However, the Institute says that it can stand bad weather and prevent crimes with its well-designed systems.So, is this just a day dream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behind the project is Peter Thiel. He founded PayPal and was one of the first investors (投资者) in Facebook. So far, he’s donated $ 500,000 to the project.And Friedman isn’t wasting any time. He recently announced the creation of the Poidon Award. This will be given to the first astead with fifty people.
