fantasy nation

The word nation derives from the Latin verb nasci, meaning to be born. From that we get Nativity.

​My fantasy nation would be

• a welcome to Latin Mass goers, and with no other Mass available, undesirables would not want to come
• a covert ally with the USA because we would depend on the US military for protection
• a request to a Latin Mass monastic order, Benedictine or Cistercian, if they could spare a few to give us the sacraments
• a plea for a Catholic king

Hungarian diplomat Eduard Hapsburg, aka Archduke Eduard of Austria, might be the right man to solicit. He is also a member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, the former ruling family of Austria-Hungary. We would counsel him.

The nation would be organized around the monastery and from there the educational system would emanate. We would have a modern hospital and police force. We would eschew all other alliances and produce our own products for export, which would then provide exchange for imports. Taxes would be enough and no more to pay for the hospital, a bank, a court, and police.

Settlers would provide other community needs, such as roads, fire, water, and reclamation, and, like Yellowstone, there would be no fences, necessitating firearms, and people would be free to leave.

There would be no need for a constitution as our school would give its students Pope Leo XIII's encyclical on the relationship between government and Church, Immortale Dei.
