I enjoy this sort of thinking. My masters work was in urban planning and I've been involved with helping advance the idea of dynamic democracies. Las Vegas was built as a "city of sin", I would be interested in building a "city of virtue". Perhaps it could be done by running analysis on property values and town populations and seeing where you could take over a local government by emigration of a group of hackers.


City of virtue? Wasn't that the premise of Bioshock's Rapture?
