<If would not be a Brazilian I would join the queue to buy 3 of them of those 10k citizenship.> What queue? Supply would, as it does with oil, perfectly match demand. You wouldn't find a queue. You could go straight up to the front of the queue, plop down your cash [assuming you didn't have AIDS, criminal conviction or liability to one, etc] and walk away with a tradable citizenship. I expect that citizenships would be held by particular individuals rather than an individual holding several. But maybe your suggestion is a good one. <My friend Bob, a UK subject, is trying to get to Australia for 18 months. 40 year old. Is professional of wireless implementation, has a nest egg, brings three girls one early twenties plus 2 teenagers. Last he said he's almost there, say has a pile of paper the size of the lawyers of Nuremberg trial brought along to court. Any country should be dying to get his family in.> In Mq's tradable citizenship system, he and they could just come on in. No big pile of papers. Just identification and cash. 24 hours later, they could be on a flight to their new country, which they would own! If he's short of cash, but worth hiring, an employer would fund their citizenship with a lien on the citizenship in case he failed to produce the goods. Or I would. Speculators would back good quality citizenships. The current systems are absurd and subject to bribery and corruption and illegal immigration. I'm sick of being a serf when I own the place. The damn politicians think they own me. What's weird is that the Uncle Tom citizens like being serfs, though some have fled to other countries, forgoing their rights to their own country which their ancestors spent centuries building.
