Badass idea, I was always fascinated by this and I do hope something like this happens, but I'm slightly worried about host governments devouring the cities before they can flourish or corrupting them into cyberpunk dystopias to tarnish the idea for ages to come.
>This one is launching in the current year on a Honduran island, it's not quite the full package but it's a very solid start.
As far as I know, the economist who actually came up with the charter cities idea - Paul Romer, was supposed to supervise the project, but he totally backed out and refused all association with it after the government started getting hijacking it and getting more involved than it should have, so idk how successful it will be, but he certainly doesn't have any confidence in it.

More potential wealth for the gov to parasitize off of later on, as long as they manage to restrain themselves while it generates.
