What about the giant “cruise” liner that would be its own nation? Freedom Ship, or something like that. They could put the Pirate Bay on that. Ahh, here it is: http://www.freedomship.com (also a wiki entry and here). Hmm, population of 50,000.

Is the the crank in Florida who wanted to build his own floating country where he’d finally give these yoots today real discipline?

Possibly. Judging by the prices, I’d say the proponderance of citizens would be over-60s New York retirees who would have otherwise ended up in Florida. Perhaps a smattering of dot-com geeks. So probably not many yoots to worry about.

Well, he planned on disciplinin’ ‘em anyway.

Indeed, me and my oldie Goldie are all over that. All we need is a Lettre of Barque.

We’ll have ‘em mizzening the main-mast, laying abaft and piping up smartly in no time.
And Hatfield’s not a crank, he’s just old.
