In the geopolitical game of scissor -paper-rock CBW is close enough to nuclear 
parity, and within the means of most on this list, as to be a practical 
deterent.  Dispersal of said agents using common agricultural means is also 
a plus.

 I would guess that some form of supply ship is required from time to time.

That's actually how they got rid of Radio Caroline and a bunch of other
pirate radio ships.

They made it illegal for british companies to provision them.

Game over.

Re: Cpunk Havenco's Weapon Choices

2000-06-16 Thread cypher

Everybody has been talking about how havenco can deal with incursions by
the UK or some other government. Isn't the solution for havenco to find a
couple of other sites in other micro-nations and so make there setup
redundant. Maybe some small arms as a pirate deterrent but multiply
redundant sites would make it hard to taske the place down in one fell
swoop. If there where 20 havenco sites then suddenly to shut them down
you have to invade twenty small but soverign nations, it would get harder
to sell each time.

I mean have anybody approached monaco about setting up a data haven, very
small, maybe they would run with the idea and there a recognised nation. 

There is also about 100 of these micronations around the world and the
whole datahaven idea will make money so ...
