We are a strange, little town that will, with lots of help from clients overseas, one day have a greater say over ourselves and our way of life. You see, for years, there have been whispers that we should be our own country. I know that sounds a bit far-fetched, but hear me out.

As a planned community, we have always asserted control over our borders when other municipalities tried to encroach into our backyard. We have, at times, bought property that was endanger of being annexed. We have litigated to high courts to maintain our ability to expand our own borders, thus keeping other cities away from us and preventing them from taxing us to death, as they have done to other smaller communities.

Since most of our income comes from our work with other countries and businesses in other countries, we have been able to squirrel away some money to help us finance our endeavors ~ legally, of course.

We have the greatest lawyers in the world who have been looking into this for us. We have a really good shot at accomplishing our sovereignty. Our little community has bought out a smaller community far to our east, which sits on the Gulf coast. We did this for our resident aquatic researchers to have access to the Gulf waters. It also affords the rest of us a place to take turns with our families to relax.

Between these two points lie miles of farmland that we have also acquired, for our agricultural researchers. We own an airfield and have plans for an elevated monorail.

I know what you're thinking. Yes, this is just a possibility, but, wouldn't you want to live in a different country right about now?
