The article left me with many questions about the legal situation. How much autonomy do they have? Abortion is a crime in Honduras, under any circumstances. Can someone step onto this land and have an abortion, free from the jurisdiction of Honduran federal law? And what about security? This is a country where land is sometimes taken by force by gangs, who bribe officials to transfer title and occupy it with their own guard forces.

The Próspera laws[0] don't mention abortion, so the Honduran ban on abortion would still seem to apply.

- leephillips 6y agoThe article seemed to say that they can set their own tax and minimum wage rates, which means that they are exempt from some federal law. I was wondering about the limits of this sovereignty.
- atlasunshrugged 6y agoMy understanding is that basically much of the criminal code will remain the same, I watched a few of the founder interviews a while back but don't have exact quotes. They have a little reddit which has many other links though https://www.reddit.com/r/Prospera/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Prospera/
