PROJECT METHUSELAH is book is meant as an Idea journal, for the proposed micro nation stated as follows, things stated in the beginning of the journal may be changed, if I find better idea, but they will not be changed in the area where they were first mentioned, to keep a sense of historyWhat is project Methuselah? Project Methuselah, is an idea who’s time is come. it is a micro nation who would use a resource based economy, but since the rest of the world is not a resource based economy, we would have import export companies that would sell our products such as food, and new technologies, and with the money earned by the sales of the products, buy items that people would need or want, and make it available for micro nation members. instead of buying an island create an artificial Island out of flotillas, and have them be connected tongue and groove style.INITIAL IDEASconnect multiple cities together, and have light rail systems, and maglev trains that would go in various directions. all electricity will be obtained through broadcast energy invented by Nikola Tesla. instead of having a money economy, we would use a modified version of Jacque Fresco’s Venus project. Where only half of he pursuit would be scientific discovery, but, the other half would be religious freedom. the artificial island o flotilla, will have a floating shell, in which dirt, grasses, etc, can be put to make residential tiles. Tt will also act as a means to put a basement for shelter during a storm. for those who don’t want houses, there are apartments that you could move into. on the artificial island a resource based economy will be the norm, but in order to make this a possibility, we would have import export companies that would import items into the united states and other countries, and export goods and services to our micro nation. some ideas for names of our island micro nation Methuselah, yah,free Eden, Victory Island. The names of the four cities of the micro nation will be called, Freedom, Jubilee,Salvation, Deliverance. how would the proposed resource based economy work, no money there would be no need for bartering greed and theft would not exist because, the same items are available for all people. Schools that teach hands on for math science, and reading, and bible study. There would be no need for laws as we know it, because there would be no theft, or murder for the sake of theft. In an atmosphere of love, there would be no need for hatred to grow. things we could do to supply our resource driven economy. Have aquaculture, fish. Have agriculture, cows, sheep, pigs, etc. Have horticulture, plants and crops. We would save what we need to provide for ourselves, and export the rest, to supply the resources
this is an example of how the civic center of a resource based economy might look. the first floor would be procurement and housing, where you new citizens would pick a lot, and then pick a house style, such as a geodesic dome, or a dymaxion style house. there are different style house kits from places like american ingenuity, timberline, and monolithic. some of these homes use steel reinforced concrete, while others use expanded polystyrene. places like eps foam products.
this is an example of an eps dome.

there is a company out in California that produces all electric cars, they are called tesla motors, they have been around for 7 years, and ave produced a couple rather interesting cars, the model S and the model X
This is a picture of the tesla motors model s

instead of using broadcast energy, we will be using green energy methods, such as wind, tidal, wave, and solar. these are very efficient the combinations of these electricity generation techniques would put an end to the use of fossile fuels alltogether, which is good for the environment.

these methods are green, energy efficient, and will allow us to be self sufficient. as a micro nation.
