We closed 2014 by taking a delegation of architects and engineers to an undisclosed location where we hope to locate the first floating city in the sea nearby. We believe there could be a market on our floating city for residences, tourism, aquaculture, a business park, a research institute, and a powerplant to sell energy and clean water back to the host nation. — Floating City Project
The Seasteading Institute continues to work towards their goal of establishing the first floating city with significant political autonomy by 2020. Currently they are focusing on - enhancing novel seastead designs, which includes wave tank testing and acquiring more detailed financial calculations; deepening our diplomatic negotiations with several potential host nations; collecting potential resident feedback; and prospecting investors.
To learn more details about progress on Phase II, read a report from the Fact-finding & Diplomatic Floating City Project Mission by Executive Director Randolph Hencken.

Looks so cold!
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS (FLOATING) GARBAGE?
If "Phase II" consists of being roundly mocked and ridiculed, what might Phase III hold?
it's far-fetched, but I imagine in 100 years or so there will be plenty small island states willing to pay up for something like this... might as well get started trying it out now
sprawl on the ocean...why not...its already filled with our plastic trash, nuclear waste, and oil....from space we look like an infectious disease...probably because we are one...
"with significant political autonomy" is pretty fascinating.
water world...with bomb a** weed.
