BS, 20,000 per year for 100 years would mean only another 2 million in NZ compared with the current 4 million [and compared with 100 million in Japan so you can see it's not going to be crowded]. 20,000 x $1 million or $2 million = $30 billion a year which is big heaps for NZ. The budget for government waste is higher than that, but of course citizens won't vote for waste when they see what it does to their profits. Same as shareholders keep a limit on corporate waste and fire the managers when they get too bad. Nobody can "boost the price" - prices are set by buyers, not sellers. All sellers can do is limit supply if they want to make each unit higher in price, which is not necessarily a good thing as the higher it goes, the fewer will buy. Selling citizenships doesn't need to fund government costs - taxes, and sale of services such as road tolls would cover all that. Deregulate the medical cartel, same with education. No more dole. The first, simple, thing to do is change the immigration rules and citizenship rules to introduce a special privileged category of citizen, the Tradable Citizenship, then sell 5,000 a year at auction. Adjust the supply depending on what optimizes revenue and profits. A referendum could be held each year on whether to increase or decrease the number issued. Mqurice
