That's be great but there is a 1982 UN Resolution forbidding anything resembling "Sea-Steading". how the **** do you know that? lol
It came up during a presentation this week on some Billionaire who wants to fund and build a City on the Ocean sort-of-thing.
William Gibson Tweeted about it and someone responded with:

@academicdave @GreatDismal There is zero hope for these guys. 1982 UN Law of the Sea clearly prohibits seasteading.
Which I then Googled and verified.

Does the UN have a PETA-like branch or something? Because that is the only thing I can think of that would make them prohibit that.

Gee, I can think of a million, starting with preventing dictators from gaining immunity by moving 'things' offshore. Why do bikers wear leather ??-á Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.-á -- Paul Lynde |

The russians already have a town something like 40 miles offshore on an oil reserve. |

Its ripe for invasion.
The Royal Navy needs to cut its teeth again and this seems like a soft target.

Didn't the RN already try that on with the Cod Wars? IIRC, it' was even honors all around, until the Icelandics cheated and brought diplomats to the game. Icelandic victory on points. CCP, debuff Barges, or buff Ganking. Either will do for me, but we need more Yaaar! in this game lest it become WoW in Spaaaaace! -á~ Me |

Hence the round 2.
They have no diplomatic clout now since the EU is mad at them. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

Would have to be Round 3. And even if the RN won, would need also Round 4 to come to a conclusive victor for the series, as Iceland won Round 2 and split-even on Round 1. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

I'd love to bid on that.
But the operating costs would be a bugger.

In the '90s, operational costs on a Spear-class Submarine Tender was roughly US$40K per nautical mile, including crew pay. A carrier, even an LHA or the Ark Royale, would be an order of magnitude higher. At least. CCP, debuff Barges, or buff Ganking. Either will do for me, but we need more Yaaar! in this game lest it become WoW in Spaaaaace! -á~ Me |
