Dear pheonix358,
What does Honduras get out of this, tons of revenue from shipping, infrastructure, people spending money on food, resources and labor that will spend their money in the rest of the country. Dubai has done quite well and did not make it's money from oil, it made it from giving companies certain rights. Henderson, Nevada is just outside of Las Vegas, it really grew up when the damn was being built, it was for the families of the construction workers and it doesn't allow prostitution (legal in Nevada) or gambling. I would anticipate that many of the workers would live outside of these cities.

Dear MouldyCrumpet,
It only makes a precedent in Honduras and means that if you have enough money, you can write the laws so long as you conform to international law.
The Corporation will own the Judges, The Police and the Prosecution. They will probably own the Defense lawyer as well. So who is going to be looking over their shoulder to ensure compliance with UN laws. Which UN laws will be enforced! Don't look too deep, you may see the truth emerge in all of it's dark evil reality.

For accepting international law, they will fall under international courts. The article mentions that the cities will be free to make treaties and determine for themselves who can live there. It is not the elimination of laws, it is the internationalization of law. International for the most important things and local for the less meaningful.

What if the city was to allow death sports or organ trafficking? You can go on and on with all the possibilities.
