"What? This island is a country?"
Abigai's face was full of disbelief. He knew this area very well and knew that there were many countries here, but there had never been a country with such a small area!
This place is only ten square kilometers in area, which is only slightly larger than the Vatican, but it is the seat of the Holy See and is mostly inhabited by clergy, making it special.
It’s hard to describe the situation here. I guess there’s not enough space for an airport runway. Could it be that the man in front of me stole the warship and rebelled?
And then have the crazy idea of becoming president yourself?
Abigail asked tentatively, "Excuse me, is this a sovereign state?"
"Um?"
Seeing Lin Xiao's puzzled expression, Abigail knew the outcome, but she still kindly explained to Lin Xiao: "National sovereignty is the fundamental attribute of a country. It refers to the ruling right of a country to independently handle its internal and external affairs. Basic rights include the right to independence, the right to equality, the right to self-defense, and the right to jurisdiction!"
Lin Xiao fell silent. He originally thought that by occupying a piece of land and having armed forces, he could establish a country.
Now it seems that things are not that simple. Although the world is peaceful, it is only relatively peaceful for sovereign states. Otherwise, they will face external threats at all times.
Just like a bend, it allows you to be independent, but it cannot give you sovereignty.
Conflicts can be considered internal conflicts, but once sovereignty is acquired, it becomes an international dispute.
"Do you know how to have sovereignty?"
Lin Xiao finally faced Abigail and understood the purpose of the system sending him here.
"Well!"
Abigail scratched her hair and carefully recalled her memory. After all, she had used this information so seldom.
Lin Xiao did not urge him. Since he had decided to establish a country, he had to do it to the best of his ability. Lin Xiao did not want to fatten others with all his luxurious equipment and become someone else's leeks.
Moreover, I have my own system and now I have some means of self-protection. I am a grandfather myself, so why should I be someone else's grandson?
"First, we need a permanent population. This isn't a big problem!"
Abigail looked at the huge cruise ship on the sea. It would not be difficult to recruit hundreds of permanent residents under such conditions.
"Second, there is a fixed territory!"
This island is more than ten square kilometers, which is at least larger than the Vatican, so it's acceptable.
“Third, effective government!”
"Fourth, the ability to interact with other countries!"
Abigail looked at the warships that almost covered the sea. With this military strength, it would be no problem for them to rank among the top 100 in the world.
The ability of nations to interact is the interaction of military capabilities. Otherwise, how could a child interact with a grown man on an equal footing? It would be good enough if they weren't robbed.
Abigail's eyes became brighter. This might be true. And judging from the attitude of the young man in front of him, as long as the country became a sovereign state, he would definitely be valued. Even if he could not become the vice president, he could still be a minister.
Abigail suddenly said weakly, "Actually, there's a simple solution. I see you're from Dragon Country, and Dragon Country is a member of the council. As long as this place is recognized as a sovereign state by Dragon Country, then everything will be fine."
Lin Xiao tapped his knees. He couldn't guarantee this, after all, he was not a Dragon.
Moreover, it is impossible to gain recognition from a country ranked among the top three in the world without huge benefits.
Seeing Lin Xiao's silence, Abigail became more certain of her guess, fearing that he had really rebelled against the Dragon Kingdom.
"In fact, other countries can also do this. They can then become quasi-sovereign states. When their strength grows, the United Nations will naturally recognize the status of this country."
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, patted Abigail on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How about it? Are you interested in becoming a prince in this country?"
"Your Majesty?"
Abigail was very puzzled. She had lived in Longguo for three years. She knew these two words and could write them. She also knew what they meant individually, but she had no idea what they meant when they were combined together.
"Well, in the United States, it's equivalent to the Vice President."
Daxia has an emperor, two concubines, and a prince, so it's considered a team. But where can I find slaves?
"Vice President?"
Abigail's face was full of surprise. She thought she had succeeded by becoming a minister through hard work, but she didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. She actually became the vice president.
I have heard a proverb in Longguo, 'Smoke is coming out of the ancestral grave'. Could it be that smoke is also coming out of my family's ancestral grave?
"Let's go and take a look together!"
As they were talking, the two of them boarded the huge cruise ship. From the system's introduction, Lin Xiao learned that the cruise ship was 130 meters long, 17 meters wide, and 28 meters high. It had more than a dozen floors and was a veritable giant in the sea.
At this time, Zhao Liying and Reba were still strolling inside. Zhao Liying also went on the cruise ship when filming the show, but she didn't take a closer look.
Reba was full of novelty. After all, it was her first time on a cruise ship, and everything she saw was new to her.
Shopping malls, medical rooms, restaurants, cafes, reading rooms, chess and card rooms, dance halls, bars, beauticians, massage rooms, gyms, Internet cafes, billiard rooms, and even golf courses.
It's a pity that there is nothing inside except the facilities.
At that time, Abigail whispered in Lin Xiao's ear, "We can sail the cruise ship to the high seas and attract some international brands to settle in. This will attract tourists and then absorb them into our country."
Zhao Liying couldn't help but sigh: "They say that cruise ships are mobile third-tier cities on the sea, and it really is true!"
“Is this a cruise ship?”
Reba smacked her lips and suddenly felt that her swan yacht was no longer fragrant. She couldn't help but cast her beautiful eyes towards Lin Xiao, her eyes full of affection and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
