The first country in the world floats in the middle of the ocean

in #photography7 years ago

Accordingly, a series of hotels, houses, offices for rent, restaurants will be built on the Seasteading (floating) project in the Pacific.

Buildings in the country can stay in the sea for more than 100 years.
Peter Thiel, the owner of the project and the founder of the Paypal payment gateway, hopes the floating nation will help people show more potential and creativity. Not only that, Thiel's biggest goal is to build this "nation" because land, the people and the government are arguing over the land issue.

If it is right, the Pacific island off the Tahiti Islands will officially be completed by 2020. The floating country is made up of 11 rectangular pieces intertwined. The edge of the "floating" country is surrounded by a 50 meter wall that prevents waves from entering the sea.

Roofs of houses made from green materials such as bamboo, coconut fiber, wood and renewable materials. The biggest goal is to create harmony between nature and people. There are currently more than 300 registered people living in the country. Expected, the construction of this country will cost more than 60 million.

Floating country is both ambitious and a way to save people from the effects of nature.
Tahiti has volunteered to allocate a surface water area to build the floating country. Many other countries in the world are also interested in this floating country because they believe that seawater will spill over and fill all life on land in a few decades.
