Plan

Chapter 5 (6.5 minutes) of the longer introduction video (18 minutes) explains our financial plan:

As mentioned previously, the country of Freedom Haven will eventually have multiple floating structures and ships, each acting as its own province under the single Freedom Haven Constitution, which preserves the highest level of freedom possible. On this page, we’ll share the latest progress on our plan for modeling, prototyping, and building the structure for the city which we call “New Liberty”. New Liberty will have similar dimensions to these mega-structures, except it’ll be shorter and won’t have a bow because it’ll be stationary at a constant GPS location so that other vessels can always find it.

The current plan has the purchase and construction of New Liberty occurring in 4 phases, with lessons-learned from each phase fine-tuning the plans in the subsequent phases:

Phase 1: Initial Designs And Plans
(completed)

A 3D printout of an older version of the model
  • $0. This was built out-of-pocket as the initial design was fine-tuned and 3d printed.
  • Created 1:1000th scale model
  • Worked on the initial design, constitution, financial plan, possible locations, etc.

Phase 2: Exploratory Campaign
(currently in progress)

1:87th scale model. The person added for scale.

Phase 3: SHI Design & Prototyping

  • ₿0.02 ($500) per TEU until all 4,000 TEUs are accounted for
    (USD conversion from BTC varies and was last updated 06/13/2022)
  • Possible location: South Korea.

Phase 4: SHI Construction & Deploy

  • ₿2.68 ($64,495) per TEU (current estimate of average – some will cost more or less depending on the chosen location and weight limits) until all 4,000 TEUs are accounted for. The total price for a resulting TEU is the costs of R&D from phases 2 and 3 plus the phase 4 cost.
    (USD conversion from BTC varies and was last updated 06/13/2022)
  • Possible location: Built in South Korea and then moved to Bay of Bengal (near Malaysia/Singapore outside the EEZ of all existing nations).
