I think it's a great idea to start a new country that avoids a lot of the legacy costs that other nations have. It's a lot easier to build a strong welfare state if you start off with a bunch of people who don't really need a welfare state in the first place. On top of that, if you start a large country that steals a lot of these people from existing states, it will hurt their competitive position greatly, mostly replicating the white flight phenomenon.

Space Gopher posted:Maybe on a very limited scale, but it's not likely to ever see widespread use. When delivering a bunch of lightweight, expensive electronics, the extra costs aren't really that much. I saw it mentioned that Amazon could use this in combination with autonomous vehicles. Pack a bunch of drones onto autonomous cars, and use software to find the most efficient combination of service to deliver what are mostly small, light packages. Drive to a neighborhood and do individual stops for large stuff, and simultaneously deploying drones that are delivering the small packages. The drones could then recharge while driving to the next area.
