My business idea is to create a temporary, self-governed country on a rented piece of land, such as an island in Greece. The concept involves legally leasing the land and establishing an independent governance system, complete with its own tax structure, infrastructure, and city development. Over the course of 50 years, this micro-nation would operate autonomously, serving as a unique experiment in governance, urban planning, and economic development. Revenue generated through taxes, tourism, and business activity would fund the city’s growth and sustainability. The project would prioritize innovation, cultural engagement, and sustainable practices, creating a model for efficient, self-sufficient urban living. After the agreed period, full control of the land and its infrastructure would be returned to Greece, leaving behind a fully developed, modern city. This idea combines entrepreneurship, nation-building, and social experimentation, offering opportunities for investors, residents, and policymakers to explore new forms of governance and economic models while respecting the sovereignty of the host nation. It is a bold, long-term vision that challenges conventional concepts of urban development and national administration, aiming to create a lasting legacy in collaboration with Greece.

The problem I want to tackle is the crazy high taxes in Europe and the way many governments are controlled by corruption, often misusing taxpayers’ money. People work hard, but much of what they earn goes to systems that don’t always serve them fairly or efficiently. My solution is to take matters into my own hands by creating a self-governed city on leased land, like an island in Greece. By collecting taxes directly within this city and using them transparently, we can build a fully functional, modern city that benefits residents and businesses. Every euro collected goes into infrastructure, services, and community development, instead of being lost to bureaucratic inefficiency or corruption. Over 50 years, the city will grow into a thriving, sustainable urban area that demonstrates how taxes can be used responsibly. At the end of the period, the city and all its assets will be returned to Greece, leaving behind a successful, fully developed model of governance and urban planning that shows how money can be used effectively when people are held accountable.
