and you must understand that when it eventually turn out to be a great idea
some countries will eventually find the idea beneficial, and therefrom will have to dedicate one/some of their cities to create alliances with other countries

an outlier is someone who will either:
a) end up in prison
b) die in his 20s
c) run a successful geo-political revolution
