So, these folks are planning to lay the keel on a mile-long, 21-storey tall
cruise ship/arcology.

Hmm.

People will live and work aboard the ship, which will have room for 17,000
families.

Hmm.

Why am I thinking "Welcome to Sea-Org Disney"?

Actually I'm thinking it'll be more like Homer Simpson going into
international waters so he could have drunken monkey fights with hookers and
drugs. Here's their website:

At those prices, though, the monkeys will be wearing tuxedoes.

Remember the Raft in "Snow Crash."

Actually, I'm reminded of that abandoned oil rig in international
waters that set itself up as a sovereign nation and tried to make
itself into a data haven. Didn't get very far, apparently.
