Why dont the richest people buy a land with a new country and declare themselves kings?

[Enginn]

Imagine that becoming a new trend lol

Culture. Good food, art, parks, life. Love, heart. Anything liberal really.

Realistically they are gunning for that mindset but with private space travel to retire like epstein island in space.

At the same time the dictatorship that used and abused their people for decades living the most baller life possible. lived life basically the equivalent of a professional athlete big name signing their contract on their terms for the first time. Half the money Michael Jordan made playing baseball basically.

Because they become rich by not buying stupid shit like islands.

Also, only a royal lineage can become a "king". You clearly don't know how the world works.

[NaultD]

The rich go to epstein island for a reason. Running out of things to buy that scratches an itch.

Also a lineage has to start from someone. Why not the billionairs class? Be a ruthless or merciful dictator on some island. Why not now we've got a trillionair today?

Isn't that what Musk is eventually going to do with Mars? I always assumed that was his plan. To crown himself emporor of Mars.

Elon Musk could certainly create several countries. I suppose we must ask what would make someone live there.

[Dargil]

Plantation operators in the South were exactly that, Feudal Kings, in every way but in name.

Maintaining a military is expensive and raising one while under another would be hard as well.

I'm not sure when the last time land was actually purchased.

[strateguy632]

[exitseven]
