The fixed base location above has been chosen by the following criteria :
1. Warm, but not too hot Climate.
2. Relatively Calm Seas, no Hurricanes, no Tsunamis, moderate Winds & Rains.
3. Close to the Land.
4. Close to Europe. ( the Founders' are mostly Europeans ) .
There are also Seabed Elevations in this particular point, suitable for anchoring the floating structure to a shallower sea bottom.
There are also appointed several more, possible locations on the map above, but with more compromises.
Here are some more maps, showing data of possible natural disasters :
The Colony's Purpose will be establishing a new, Politically-Independent, Sovereign NATION or FEDERATION of Independent Nations, based on maximum FREEDOM for its Citizens to choose freely and independently, in a fair Direct-Democracy Process, the preferred Political and Economical Governance they would like to have on their island, plus the full system of Laws, Rules and Regulations .
There are a lot of opinions, relating similar ideas to the LIBERTARIAN political philosophy. We have no such a mandatory intention as a political base of our Project, because we have a lot of questions to the Libertarians, but anyone frustrated and crashed by the today's politics and some of the 193 Governments around the Globe, adopted the right to rule a mankind of 7.6 Billion people, will find here the right place for his personal and business development, in a maximum-friendly, peaceful and paradise-beautiful environment with low (or no) Taxes, liberal Laws, Humanity-Based Laws and Regulations, etc.
The Colony's Founders will have a decisive vote at the start-up democratic process of choosing the specific form of Governance, Laws, Rules and Regulations.TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS.
The Colony will be built on Floating Platforms (Islands), made of Basalt-Fiber Composite (BFC) Assembly-Modular Elements, at an EXTREMELY LOW COST . https://basalt-fiber-composite.alle.bg , https://floatland.alle.bg , https://floaturbine.alle.bg , https://float-plantation.alle.bg , https://float-highway.alle.bg , https://shelf.alle.bg .
The BFC structural material is an Extremely Strong "Bone Structure", Lighter than Wood, Stainless, Waterproof, Firepoof, Thermally (1,000+ deg.C) Resistant, Chemically (Salty Water) 100% Resistant, Abrasion and UV-Resistant, Thermally-Insulating, 100% Ecologically Clean and Renewable and EXTREMELY CHEAP ($2/MT cost of Basalt Rock), thanks to our original Hydrogen-Based Low-Power and Low-Cost Technology. https://basalt.alle.bg , https://passive-house.alle.bg , https://fuels.alle.bg
Using the BFC Technology, we can build various GIANT FLOATING STRUCTURES with UNLIMITED AREA, in the middle of the OCEAN, in deep waters, at an extremely LOW COST.
Here are some examples of similar projects, but no one of them is suitable for us, because all of them are intended to be put in relatively calm seas and close to the mainland, means in somebody's EEZ and under somebody's impact, while our project intends to create a giant floating structure at least 200 miles far from the land, and far from any kind of impact, out of the EEZs, in Unclaimed International Waters.
Creating Submersible Inhabitable Structures will be the first step to mastering the seas and oceans for Mankind's Waterworld's Expansion - not only as a vast territory on the surface, but also as a huge sub-sea space with unlimited industrial, commercial and nature-saving opportunities.
Everyday-living in a high-seas environment, will increase the perception of the Ocean as a Home, and will raise the responsiblity for its protection and 100% clean maintenance.
However, such structures will have an extremely high level of high-pressure-safety requirements, which will make them incredibly expensive, even made of super-cheap and super-strong BFC.
Another issue is the Psychological Factor. People don't like to live in a submarine. It is quite unnatural, even scary and uncomfortable.
Those are the main reasons all similar project in the past to fail.
Nevertheless, the future technologies development will hopefully provide the needed for creating such a habitat and make it super-attractive for every-day, high-class living.
Or we can build one or more huge and mighty Floating Brakewater Rings around our city, as designed by the Seasteading Institute, shown on the picture below, protecting it from high Waves, which will provide a relatively Calm-Sea Lagoon inside the Ring.
The huge size of the Breakwater allows to be made hollow and a lot of infrastructure to be placed inside, like for example the Vertical Farms for food production, the Hydrogen Power & Fuel Plants, etc.
Brakewaters will be also Tidal Power Plants, producing Power non-stop, 24/7.
Our Floating Colony could be built on many Floating BFC-Modular Platforms as the shown above, with UNLIMITED summary sizes (could be Square Miles of area ), connected with each other by floating or hanging BFC-Modular Roads / Bridges. And yes, the cost of such a construction will be tens of times lower than if it is made out of traditional materials and with traditional technologies.
TANKER DESIGN .
We can also make our Platforms like regular large-size Tanker Ships, jointed together, equipped with powerful HYDROGEN ENGINES , making the such integrated Platform MOVE TO CALMER SEAS, nearby, or even cruising around the Globe, at a low cost, if needed.
We can joint together unlimited number of ships, thus creating unlimited summary area for building various structures on our floating island - from family houses, to multi-story towers, grass fields, tropical gardens, etc.
Ships could be also made detachable, for moving on their own, each of them.
Inside the ships' holds we'll install all the Industrial, Power-Generating, Vertical-farm Food-Production, SeaWater-DeIonization Plant, etc. Service infrastructure. Some Residential and Office units could be roomed there as well.
This option looks the best and cheapest, among all.
It'll need no huge Brakewater Barriers, neither enormous, heavy and super-expensive Rigs for solving the Big Waves problem. The Ship-Like design will allow a much lower cost, and a perfect flexible maneuverability for fleeing away fast to other location, if the weather forecast for the present location is bad.
This option will literally allow Cruise Trips around the World .
The Structure will be made of several super-large (250m x 50m x 50m) Ship Bodies, connected by on-top and/or lower Assembly-Modular Decks, thus forming Vast Floating Islands. Islands could be connected, or not connected between each other, in Archipelagos.
Here is a simple diagram for a version of the basic modular construction of our Islands.
Module A ("Block") won't exist separately, it'll be 1/5 integral part of the basic Module B ("Ship"), sized 250 x 50 x 50m, about 30 times higher than a regular person 1.70m tall. Five Modules B will make one Module C ("Island"), sized 250 x 250m. This will be our ISLAND. It'll have six Hydrogen (MOH Gas)-Fueled thruster / maneuver Engines for autonomous propulsion locally and around the Globe.
Modules will be assembled in box-shapes, built of SOH-Gas-Welded Wall and Floor Panels, made of extremely strong, lightweight, stainless, waterproof, fireproof, UV-proof and super-cheap Basalt-Fiber Composite. Panels will be strongly welded together, forming an extremely strong and unbreakable box. This Module-B Box will be our basic element, which could not be dismantled.
Each Module B will have joint elements for assembling together with other B-modules. All B-Modules will be detachable in case of repair etc., if needed.
Also, each Module B will have a joint for installing its own Engine, for autonomous propulsion as a Ship or a Barge.
The Cost of Construction, no matter how giant, peculiar, never-built this Floating Structure is, will be a dozens of times lower than the cheapest vessels, made by the traditional ship-building technologies, materials and consumables. This is because of the cheap Basalt-Fiber Composite material used, and the low-cost energy, supplied by the SOH Gas Power Plant, for welding and else energy-consuming operations.
Despite of its gigantic sizes and cubic shape, the Island will be extremely maneuverable on sea and will move relatively fast.
Our main task after building the Island, will be the building of Airplane Runway and a Port.
We have designed two versions of Runways - a 500m long, side-attached, and a 600m long, diagonally-placed.
Both runways will be capable to accept planes of the Boeing-737-size.
Both designs have their advantages and drawbacks.
Every pilot will say the longer runway is better, but it divides our Colony into two pieces with hard access to each other. Also, we intend to build multistory buildings from both sides of the runway, which won't be good in safety regard. So for the moment the shorter, side-attached design looks better for us, though pilots think different.
For comparison, the largest ship in the world for the moment is Harmony of the Seas, 356m long and 65m wide, with :
– 18 total decks with 16 guest decks
– 2,747 staterooms, 1,768 balconies
– There are 4 bow thrusters with 7,600 horse power each
– 24 guest elevators
– 7 distinct ‘neighbourhoods’
– 8 specialty restaurants and 4,908 total restaurant seating
– 11,252 works of art showcased throughout the ship
– 4,700,000 lbs. (2,150 tons) of water in 23 swimming pools, whirlpools, two FlowRider surf simulators and waterslides
– A 10 story, 100-foot drop with The Ultimate Abyss, the tallest slide at sea
– The fastest Internet at sea
We think this ship is a good beginning to think about the size and the structure of our Colony.
We'll need about TEN ships, bigger than this, just for the beginning.
Of course, using our ultra-cheap BFC technology, the building of our ships will be times cheaper than of the Harmony's .
What you can't see on this ship, are large parks, gardens and green open spaces, which will be mandatory for our Project.
The Bad-Weather Alarm and the Sail-Away Decision will be made after a detailed analysis, made after collecting enough data from the local Satellite Weather Forecast and also from Drones, sent miles away to investigate at site the situation with the seas and skies around the Colony's location point, and the upcoming weather events.
The Hydrogen Ship-Propulsion Engines will consume H2-Based Clean Fuel (MOH Gas), produced in unlimited volumes, out of Seawater, on-board the Colony, at an extremely low cost.There will be also an Airplane / Drone Runway and a Port for unlimited-size sea-vessels with a Container Terminal attached.
The longest aircraft carrier is 360m long, which is about the limit for a Boeing 737 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dIICrSPXkA
Two or more ships, similar to that carrier, but with much simpler design, could be attached to each other for achieving a longer runway capable to accept bigger airplanes.
Our Colony could be developed as a vibrant International Port, Airport and Cargo-Logistic Trade Center, perfectly located for that job.SOCIAL DETAILS.
In SOCIAL Aspect, every single Platform will play its specific ROLE and could have its specific rules and governance, as a part of a Federal Union.
For example, some of the Platforms will be Residential, others will be Office, Business or Industrial, or for Sports and Entertainment, etc.
Some of the Platforms will be assigned for younger people and families, with a noisier lifestyle and modern/futuristic environment preference.
Other, for elderly people, much quieter, with classic/historical environment with more green areas, etc.
There could be the possibility to INDIVIDUALIZE some of the Platforms, according to the preferences of various social groups, as for example : Artists' Neighborhood, or Marketplace's, or neighborhood for Business with glass offices, or for Entertainment with Bars and Restaurants, Theaters and Galleries, a Kid's area with large green yards and playgrounds, etc.
According to the citizens' specific preferences and under their explicit decision and consent, neighborhoods/platforms with different Languages, Religions or Sexual or Cultural or Ethnic / Race, Age, Wealth, etc. specifics, could be individualized as well.
The main RULE will be : Maximum comfort for the citizens or citizen groups and their neighbors, without any problems occurring inside or between them.
For RICHER citizens for example, there could be separated, Individual Platforms with large luxury homes, while for the middle-class there will be smaller, but yet modern and comfortable housing neighborhoods, or apartments in higher downtown buildings of flats.ARCHITECTURE.
Our technology allows even assembly-modular "SKYSCRAPERS" up to 30 floors and more, to be built on the floating Platforms, similar to the largest Cruise Ships, with a possibility for adding subsea balancing structure under the platform (Aquaponic Farms for example).
All buildings up on the Platforms will be built by the same Assembly-Modular BFC technology, at a very low cost.
The BFC 3D-PRINT Technology offers unlimited options for creating one-of-a-kind architectural masterpieces and landscapes.
Various Fine Architectural Styles and High-Class Mastership in design and construction of all the elements and the smallest details of the Colony's environment, will be a mandatory.
Our Colony must become the world's most beautiful and attractive, a real Paradise place for living.
Starting as a regular International Offshore Business Entity, and a Tourist, Entertainment and Offshore-Business Centre, the Colony, except its High-Class Residential and Politically-Independent Free-Society Purpose and Foundations, will be based on a strong Economical Background and Giant-Income-Generating industry, producing and exporting mainly Clean Fuels and Systems as Gas-Electric and Reaction Engines, Generators, Turbines, Drones, Graphene Batteries and SuperCapacitors, High-Tech Electronics, IT and Internet-Based Services, BFC-Structural Products, High-Price Aquaculture Foods, etc. TOURISM - SCIENTIFIC, EDUCATIONAL, high-class HEALTH & MEDICAL SERVICES, OFFSHORE BANKING, LOGISTIC and CUSTOMS SERVICES will also generate significant incomes.
The Colony will become a serious Venture Capital and Financial Markets Player soon.
MIGRANTS / REFUGEES PROBLEM
The recent islamic-terrorist attacks in France and Austria are the next, but not the last for sure evidence that the EU has NO effective solution at all, for our kid's safe future.
All the Bureaucratic Machines are set up to help illegal immigrants and well-trained terrorists to invade the EU and bring death and horror.
And they have obviously had a great success - now EU citizens are more scared than ever.
Soldiers and policemen with machine guns are walking in the streets, all the media are full of coverage for violence and fear everywhere.
How shall we stop this enormous and endless Avalanche of Threat and Fear ?
Our team thinks we have the Solution, which is similar to what Australia has done for example, to have ZERO illegal immigrants for the last couple of years - to isolate them on an Island until the check procedures go.
We know the first reaction is : " A Nazis Concentration Camp ! ... Human Rights ! " , etc. but actually the things will be Completely Different.
We are talking about an Autonomous Floating Archipelago (FA), a beautiful, Copy-Paste Piece of the real EU, a Legal and Non-Stop-Expanding New EU Territory / State, with similar vibrant Cities, Buildings, Restaurants, Gardens, Streets, Cars, Businesses, etc., as could be seen in the EU countries.
FA will be built on Floating Platforms, made of low-cost and super-strong Basalt-Fiber Composite , placed in warm International Waters (for example, somewhere between Portugal and Madeira Island), Collectively-Owned by the Entire EU ( unlike the Lampedusa Island for example, owned by Italy only, collecting all the great Problems of the Boat-Migrants from Africa on its single behalf ).
FA will be a Giant Filter for Migrants, Checking and Selecting them for a longer period, instead of injecting them immediately into the EU Structure, which appeared to be a real Shock both for the EU Citizens and the Migrants too.
What are Migrants looking for coming into the EU ?
First - Work for Money.
Second - well organized, friendly, beautiful, peaceful, safe and secured Environment with a strong Legal System.
Third - Education, Entertainment, Fun, etc.
So what's the problem with creating all these conditions on an EU-isolated FA ?
No problem at all.
Moreover, FA will offer Off-Shore Tax and Trade Discount Rules and Laws for the Companies, settled to do Business there ; tons of companies will come here soon, with a great hunger for workers.
Lots of native EU Citizens will come to work for these Companies as well, so Migrants will NOT be isolated, but massively included, so no place for mentioning the Nazis Camp association of any kind, at all.
There will be Company Schools and even Universities, for a short-time educating the migrants in order to be capable of starting to work and self-maintaining themselves as soon as possible.
Companies will secure nice Homes with nice EU-like Landscapes around, EU-level Healthcare, Food etc. Supplies, Entertainment, Culture Events, etc., and everything else needed, so both migrants and businesses will be utmost happy.
In the same time the relevant authorities will conduct a Rigorous Investigation about every single migrant - where he is coming from, his eventual participation in terrorist groups / attacks, and if proved he is a Bandit, he'll be deported or put in Jail ( yes, there will be a Jail on the FA, of course, such as own Police, Court, etc.).
There will be several Islands at the FA, with several Levels of Access to the EU System.
After 5 years of good and trouble-free behaviour, passing all the checks, without showing any suspicious / hostile / aggressive mindset / activity / connections, the Migrant will be granted the right of travelling and working in the EU Mainland , - and after 10 more years - to be possibly granted a Passport as a regular EU Citizen.
We believe this is the best and safest option for the EU-Citizens, creating a fair Order for an effective and successful Inclusion of all the illegal immigrants coming into the EU.
