    I mean, you’d be surprised. If he said “we will buy you out, and you can be your own country, but we get special rights to your land for mining and a military base” … they might want independence in spite of that. The fingers are crossed, of course, as he will fail to pass that property along to them after purchase.

      Plus they already have projects in the works for a more sustainable approach on their own terms. Hydroponic Farms and such.
