Crazy Abandoned Jetson's City
This city of San Zhi in Taiwan was built as an upper-class resort for people of Taipei. Numerous accidents happened during construction and the people took it as a bad omen. Now people believe the place is haunted and, of course, nobody wants to go there.
I think abandoned cities are about the coolest thing going. Just imagine - you could get all your friends together and move in. It's free - because, well, it's abandoned. Your property values go up as soon as you fix all the broken windows, and you live in a city where everyone is your friend.
It's like the movie suburbia (the 1984 one, not the new crappy one), except that your friends aren't all a bunch of low life punks and your houses are a lot cooler because in this case they are old Jetson's-looking houses.
So who's in? Let's go to Taiwan and lay claim to the haunted city. We'll drive the ghosts out and make it the most awesome city ever. I call almighty emperor king and ruler so I'll be needing someone to take dictation and also a foreign-affairs type person. Please send your resume if interested.

So we're not going to make our own island country? I mean, I'll still be your foreign affairs guy, but I'm advising you that claiming soverignty would be easier on an island than on a suburb.

I'm in! Although we will need some one who speaks the language. I'll start the Bank system and print the money. Should we go on the gold Standard then our money will be worth way more than US currency. I hope some one knows how to make Bikes or hopefully Cars.
I can help with the cars and
I can help with the cars and bikes thing, however that won't be my fulltime job.... just a side thing. I call I that I get to be the Bureaucrat. I'll handle all of the paperwork and public records- but they really won't be paper- we are going to be all electric. In light of being all electric we need some physicists to get the solar power and hydrogen cells to make enough electricity to maintain our lifestyles. We will keep all of our public offense records online and accessable like Utah Valley used to be. Oh ya.... and I call to bunk house of one of these Jetsons things.
... excuse me- top bunk.
... excuse me- top bunk.
Power shouldn't be too hard.
Power shouldn't be too hard. Some wind turbines and commercially available solar cells should work. But that would all cost money so perhaps the almighty emperor should declare war on someone smaller and we could plunder them and steal their wealth. We could all hit up Sri Lanka on the way over, they've already got problems and wouldn't notice one more ruthless band of nerds coming in on bikes to plunder them. Afterwards, skiv and I could go back and say we're sorry but we get to keep everything and the international community won't be too outraged. As for my earlier problem with sovereignty, I guess Taiwan is already in a big enough dispute with mainland China and the U.S. doesn't even recognize Taiwan as sovereign so I'm sure we could fall through the cracks somewhere. (I don't like my job so I think I ended up putting too much thought into this.)
