Unrelated, there is a trend here. Estonia has been marketing and operating itself like a startup. Many are following it with lithuania introducing e-residency and government services to non-citizens.
It's even more common with island countries where you can buy passports or government services otherwise not available to non-residents in elsewhere without even visiting.
It's 21st century and governments are startups attracting capital and skilled workers (employees).
- mirceal 4y agomarketing? maybe. operating? doubt it. if the country you’re a citizen of would say “let’s see how this quarter goes. if thing don’t work out we will reach the end of our runway and all that property you bought is going to be sold to the highest bidder without consulting you” you’d think they are a bunch of clown. “Also, it’s called Estonia today, but it may be Germany tomorrow and you cannot stay here unless you are a German citizen”. Bananas! + Instant uprising against the government.
- searchableguy 4y agoI defined the limited area they act as a startup above. They are providing government services that are usually only available to citizens to everyone for money.
