I will give the exact same answer I gave to this comment on my actual blog, but don't double count my appreciation :)

"Thanks for the kind and encouraging words, not just here but throughout my journey developing these ideas. The criticism was also very valuable."

Hey, ProgramCrafter. 
Thanks for the comment.

Regarding your remarks on CBs, you spotted something important that is missing in this text: how CBs would be inherited. (Not necessarily, the population would increase, as you suggested, it may stay stable or decrease.) I have an inheritance scheme designed. In case of a growing family, the children would be granted the right to hold a (proportionally) smaller area in CBs and still have citizenship. It is not a particularly inspired solution, but it seems doable.

Regarding presenting the system in a positive light, I may be guilty of that, I don't know. It would be interesting to know what other readers think. However, lack of exploration is to be expected, given that the topic is vast. A large number of important benefits of the system were not presented in the text as well, I was not particularly excluding problems.

Hi, Karl. Was planning to delurk today. Had a giant post to publish, however couldn't because I needed at least one karma point and lurking doesn't grant karma. :(
