Ooops, more sloppy reading/writing by me: Yes, I meant the first type, not the globalizing megalomaniacs. There are some internationalist traders that eschew nationalism. If those are what you have in mind, then I agree with you that it is a good movement. The first group want to extend the yoke of tyranny worldwide, with themselves starring as the tyrants. I meant by "the first type" the internationalist traders that eschew nationalism, but you were referring to "the first group" as the regular globalizing state-power tyrants. It would take only one country to demonstrate how good tradable citizenship could be. Greece for example could turn into the best place in the world in a few short years. Others might copy because people do tend to copy things that work better. If Greece sold 20,000 citizenships per year at $1 million each, that would be $20 billion per year. That's real money for a small country. 20,000 per year would not crowd the place even after 100 years. Those 20,000 per year would generate loads of economic activity making the feedback loop fantastic. Initially, citizenships would not be worth $1 million, but as soon as people saw the new "we own this place" constitution working like a dream, the price would start soaring as supply and demand saw bids reaching the roof. Making money on citizenships would be very popular. Mqurice
