The 1933 Montevideo Convention a nation to have a permanent population.

    Because of the rugged and arid nature of the land, creating a permanent settlement is a significant problem.

    We are accepting ideas on how to create the first permanent settlement in Landstania.

    This is particularly difficult. This is true desert, some sandy, aome rocky, with rare trees. There is a high well, but it doesn’t have enough water to support a human long term. Rain is between 0.1 and 0.2 inches every several years. Water will have to be transported to site.

    Electricity on the other hand should be plentiful from strong solar panel exposure.

    Jeff Polaski has suggested because of the rough rocky terrain and limited water supply, the first settlement be a Mars colony research station, simulating the conditions needed to successfully colonize the planet Mars.

    Jeff Polaski has suggested creation of habitats to experiment with methods to reverse desertification here on earth.

    Viceroy Dorian B. Yarnelson has suggested creating a small art community.
