Article starts with Honduras, and wtf does that have to do with US, but
The key is how much "we" get paid for their privilege, and does it buy the "utlimate tax free sov cit dream"? while residents get to make money from America, and evade American tariffs.
Best part if it fails, everyone leaves, it can be turned into unregulated nuclear waste dump with child hookers.
It has to do with the US because this particular project is largely US-funded, driven by Peter Thiel, and also, according to this pretty good article, owned by a US-based company.
"Honduras Próspera, the Delaware-registered company that owns the startup city..."
This is not the only such US ancap exclave project in the world, either.
