The fact is that governments are completely incapable of managing anything and corporations are the future. We just need to figure where the future corporate HQ will be.

Besides the impossible realism with today’s tech,
Ooh. Look what happened last time we built a flying island as a large cultural center.
*reads article* Just get rid of all that religious nonsense and it looks like paradise. I especially liked the section on Fink Manufacturing, now that's how you run a business.

Ever heard of China? The EU? Russia, perhaps?

Corporations are better at running shit than governments?
Last time I checked, poor leadership knows no borders.
Government, Business, Unions, Even simple group projects, it knows no borders.

We should get back to picking a city for the management to reside though. So far the best ideas are New York, London, Dubai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and the moon. Anybody know which one's the most likely?
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2018 9:57 amI'd probably go with Geneva, considering how it is home to UN offices and was the home of the League of Nations. Plus, considering the USA is going downhill fast, I don't really want to put my eggs into New York City.
If I can only choose a city in my own country for that status though, as much as I am biased to Saskatoon, I feel that Toronto probably deserves the slot.

New York or London would be good choices.

It's the most inoffensive option (that isn't a shithole), therefore won't cause civil war and revolution
Or, at least, delay it.

Geneva would be better as is has many UN offices and other international organizations

London or Rome, the only cities that have been the seat of empires that ruled the world.
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2018 11:57 amPosted: Thu Mar 29, 2018 5:05 pm"The world."
London, I'd grant. They had an empire that heavily affected virtually ever person on Earth, even the ones not in their Empire. But in what way, exactly, did Rome ever rule the world?

Rome had an Empire named after it, you might've heard about "The Roman Empire" which ruled about half (or 2 thirds) of Europe, as well as Syria, North Africa, and THE HOLY LAND.

There is also a little region, sometimes called "the Orient," which you might have heard about. If you're an astute student of world geography, you might notice that an Empire that had strong influence over barely 1/3 of the civilised world at that time can't in any real sense be considered to be "ruling the world."
China alone had as much power and influence as the Roman Empire at its height, to say nothing of all the South Asian principalities.
