Have you ever thought of moving to a new country? How about staring 1 my country? Patri Friedman is just planning to do that. He left Google years ago to set up the seasteadying Institute. And his dream is to build seasteads - floating(漂浮的) micro-nations in the middle of the ocean.

So, what will life on a seastead be like? Probably a bit like life on aceeliner(游轮), but much larger, with shops, gyms, swimming pools, schools and other area. In fact, the early seasteads may actually be specially-rebuilt cruise liners. But as science develops, Friedman believes they'll become more like floating cities, with several hundred people.

 Seasteading raises a lot of questions. First of all, how will the new countries make money? The Seasteading Institute has suggested several money-making ideas, including ocean-based theme parks and fish farming. There's also the question of safety. With storms, typhoons and pirates, the high seas are a dangerous place. However, the Institute systems can stand bad weather and stop crimes with its well-designed systems.

So, is this just a daydream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behinds the project is Peter Thiel. He founded PayPal and was one of the first investors(投资者) in Facebook. So far, he has donated $500,000 to the project.

And Friedman isn’t wasting any time. He has recently created the Poseidon. This will be given to the first seasteads with fifty people.

23. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

1. Seasteads will not make any money in the future. 
2. Friedman isn't worried about the safety of seasteads.
