Should we form an "Aspie Island" nation?

Well we do need an army and a police force.

And we'll need names for them, and of course we need a government.

And we need a stance on state approved religion...my opinion if that we should be an atheistic government and make atheism the state irreligion. But we wouldn't penalize religion.

I'd rather live with Space Pirates than aspies... XD

not only do I support this, but I view it as the only logical development for us. The two major problems for us are educational system and socialization. We are the minority so getting a proper educational system would be unrealistic in a NT society. Most socializing problems come from the fact we can only really relate to other aspies. Alot of the negative quirks I believe come from the isolation we experience in a typical culture.

Biggest advantage I see is that, as I've stated before. Aspies are often the creators of new technology, alot of the technology we use can be traced back to an Aspie. This would mean if we get a functioning society, other nations will be forced to trade with us, which would make declaring ourselves a legitimate nation alot more likely. One would imagine we would also have a small, yet powerful army. Lets not forget, tanks, aviation, nuclear weapons, were all Aspie creations.

My only question is, is this nessicary? I mean Silicon Valley (sp) already has a large Aspie community. Might be wiser to merely expand on it. Though our like of independence might cause some problems.

My problem with the island idea is size. If this works we will draw more people there. Then through basic procreation and the possibility that percentage of people with aspergers is raising, we would quickly grow beyond the confines of a small island.

Maybe a couple islands. One to start, and then as it grows, two.

An economy first, they are very portable, we are everywhere, so we can hook in, and direct some cash flow to Headquarters.

Many a company incorporates in the Bahamas for tax reasons. we are a natural multi-national.

NT is the customer base, we need them, they need us, but they do not treat us well.

We are not so limited, our talents can develop NT ideas.

The WP Media Group is doing well. "Arts and Ideas are Us." TM

Always looking for talent.

It'll need skilled leadership, and clear goals. I also think that we should only let aspies become politicians, and test those who do want to become politicians for their skills and qualifications. There should be a constitution based on balancing individual freedom and stability and security, whilst being aspie-friendly.

Businesses should be regulated, but reduce taxes in order to attract companies as a tax haven. Have immigration check everyone who wants to immigrate.

Military? Well, to start with, you need a defence force of some form, which can be expanded later on.

A "navy" of 3-5 patrol/search and rescue boats, and some motor rafts to start with. You don't need very much to keep a small island's coasts secure.

The initial army needn't be no more than a small company of 60-100 personnel, then it can be expanded once growth reaches a certain point. Of course, only about 1 platoon will be functional at the start, commanded by a Captain of the Guards. Starting army commanded by major, whole military under command of Lieutenant Colonel, and the President/Chancellor, who is also Colonel-In-Chief.

Air force? 2-5 helicopters, 1-2 general purpose planes are all that is needed.

As for police, well, if we're thinking of a large town and outlying villages to start with, you only need about 100-150 cops with equipment, and all-terrain vehicles. Yes, aspies commit crimes too.

There should be a state broadcasting corporation.

State hospitals and schools, one university to start off with. "Free" state services, but private schools and hospitals allowed, just kinda pointless.

You'll see the capital expand into a small city in no time, and the villages will follow suit. That, I think, is when there will be a need to expand the nation more, to other islands. The location will need to be carefully chosen, and there will need to be alot of investment in order to make it not only good, but sustainable. We'll need to use some innovation to build factories which will produce food on indoors fields on multiple floors. All the other food would need to be imported.

As for transport to and around the islands, well, there would need to be an airport with a runway big enough to handle medium to long haul aircraft, such as the Boeing 737, and 777. Space would also be set aside for the small air force. Not a hueg international airport, just something that does the job.

Harbour/docks shouldn't be too much of a problem. Find somewhere which will have a big enough space to harbour most cargo ships.

Public transport should ideally be buses or trams around the island. Ferries would do the rest of the work with more than one island.

on the topic of military. Now I know you have no reason to believe me. But let me be in charge of military R&D. I have worked out some rather nice ideas that should allow our small nation to defend itself against anything they can throw at us. I actually figured out how to make a practical mech, and yes there are practical reasons to use them over normal armorments as well. You'd be suprised at how mobile a biped actually is.

I think people with HFA should also be allowed on the island.

Agreed.

What about low-functioning?

I think you'd do well as director of immigration, if you know who to and who not to let in.

Well what do you guys think? if we start letting everyone in, then the place would be swamped.
