Mq, I would feel claustrophobic too if I was stuck in a little country like New Zealand. ;)

I think what Snowshoe did was dynamic and smart and betrays no stockholmian love for any captors. The idea, yes, it is hard to understand. Ultimately, even if you have a right to sell your citizenship to the highest bidder, when it comes to making decisions in a country, yours is still but a single vote. Not much different than what it is today. They can outvote you, and that's all there is to it. For some reason you expect that the price of citizenships will be high - in the millions. I doubt that this is possible. It would take an average family living on this planet many, many generations to save up for a single half way decent citizenship. Quite likely, millions of sellers who were lucky enough to be born in a wealthy nation would be quick to cash in - so that they could move to a less expensive place, and live like kings, and for nothing. A better world order would be the other way around. Let the governments do a good, efficient job, and compete for MY tax dollars. Let them work hard in order to attract ME. If I don't like the clowns in charge, I 'll simply move to a different place.
