      I have concluded the most likely successful conqueror can only be Gordon Ramsey. If he can just pay a couple dozen people to set up shop with a tiny airport and a single restaurant we could get this thing off the ground.

    So, I rode a pure bred Egyptian Arab horse through parts of Bir Tawil in the late 80’s. A friend of mine who owns a ranch north of Bir Tawil in Egypt, breeding and raising Arabian horses, did guided tours through parts of Bir for a few years. I will never forget this time. We were in the desert for two weeks, living in nomad tents with our horses and a couple of guys with all terrain vehicles for our supplies. Generator and everything. It was amazing. I have never, and probably never will, experience the absolutely stunning silence of the earth. Two weeks in Bir Tawil we’re life changing for me. We were visited by Tuareg nomads for two days, we spoke French with each other. They taught us to hunt for small protein bugs that live under rocks, and showed us the trails of the wandering rocks; there are rocks that move miles and miles in the desert and they leave a trail behind, I don’t know what the phenomena is called.

But of course, folks who talk about moving to Mars are highly unlikely to see it as such. But that's mainly because they haven't realized that if we can't terraform somewhere that already has a breathable atmosphere and water (in this case, the water is likely deep underground) then we certainly lack the ability to terraform Mars.

    Newsflash: Huge amounts of oil have been found in Bir Tawil. Egypt claims the area as it has always historically belonged to the Egyptian kingdoms. Sudan claims the area belongs to them because Khartoum is the closest capital. The U.S., on the other hand, claims that a Bedouin from Bir Tawil attacked a hair salon in New York, and that many Bedouins in the region were found to have weapons of mass destruction. They want to bring democracy, peace and freedom to the remaining Bedouins. For this reason it is important to invade this area and to secure the oil fields...sorry, I mean secure the situation. Also the U.S. will never abandon the population there.

I mean, it looks perfect for illegal experimentation. Big pharma could make a lot of use out of that. Any PMC would also love to have a permanent base of operations in Africa because there's a whole lot of work there for mercs. All of which could operate without any government oversight.

      @@garyallen9840 Technically no, if a corporation based in America laid claim to this land and started paying taxes on it, the land itself would technically be protected by American law. The thing is that getting cops and safety regulation inspectors down there would be next to impossible. So, in effect, unless one of your neighbors attempts military or police action the corporation would have to govern itself. Which means booby traps, automated lethal defense systems, mercenaries, and anything else that the corporate mind can come up with. It also means that anybody who happens to wander into your private land can then be used as an unpaid intern for the rest of their lives. In other words, a private corporation laying claim to this land would mean all the international protection of being American land, with none of the laws or ethical dilemmas that face corporations stateside, and as long as the taxes are paid that status quo remains.

    No country can claim land in Antarctica likely ever again.
    It's part of the treaty. The treaty didn't remove any claims that were previously made, but no further claims would be recognized by the signees and land rights on previously claimed land would also not be recognized.
    It was actually a pretty brilliant piece of writing. No one lost anything yet everyone also had peace of mind that no one would start strip-mining the place. That's why the US doesn't have a claim in Antarctica yet enforces the treaty AND also has several research stations throughout it. It's also the only place on earth that any country can walk into any other countries station and look around the place anytime they want.

    Well actually, there ARE people who claim it, but it is unrecognized and so they aren't legally considered owners of it. In fact you name them off, right after saying no people have claimed it. However, if someone established a country with absolutely no land and became recognized, they could legally lay claim on every piece of disputed territory and potentially have a very large country spread throughout the world.

The world governments only take serious threats into consideration when it comes to claims.

      With the evaporation of that big lake up north that has been keeping AZ alive for years, you might just get a Phoenix that burns, but doesn't rise anew from its ashes. I lived a block from a canal that brought clear, cool water hundreds of miles to irrigate croplands and residential yards around Phoenix, Tempe and Gilbert AZ, just one of an entire system of canals and water gates. On a certain allocated day, you could open the canal gate and flood your yard, which was bermed along its edges to retain about two to four inches of water. After your yard, front and back, was flooded, you shut off the canal gate leading onto your property, the water soaked in, and that was your watering allotment until the next time your turn came around.
      A neat feature was the thousands of specialty carp living in the canals, diligently eating any algae off the concrete canal walls as fast as it grew. Some grew to almost three feet long. A very few people fished for them, but I never saw one caught. I guess nobody ever baited their hooks with algae.

      @@ammoalamo6485 Phoenix gets most of its water from the Salt River reservoirs, which are to the east of Phoenix, and which, given all the rain we've gotten this summer monsoon (it's literally raining buckets outside right now), are currently filling up nicely. It's Las Vegas that gets most of its water from the low waters of Lake Mead. That canal you mentioned is almost certainly part of the Salt River Project.
