SmartUniverse

Firesign Theatre used to have a line from one of its routines that was very interesting. It was “How can you be in two places at once when you’re really nowhere at all?” That saying really sums up the concept for today’s Warped site.

The site is called SmartUniverse, the First Virtual Nation. No taxes, no land mass, no war. It is a slap at royalty, normalcy, and the status quo. It is a very interesting place to visit, and an interesting concept in what a virtual world can be. There are some interesting articles, both by the monarch and the spokesman for the monarch. You will see that people from over 87 countries (and the Gaza Strip) have signed up. Citizenship is free, as is its newsletter. You can even join the Royal Family. Be sure to check out the photo section. You will be amazed at just how far reaching this concept can be.

This site has tongue in cheek written all over it. But is raises some interesting topics for discussion. The Warp-o-Meter gives this site an 8.0. But that is only a virtual one, keeping up the spirit of the site.
