Politics

It seems there is a growing number of people who only exist comfortably in a virtual world, and many of those who deal best with reality are virtually lost.

How long before we have real governments and virtual nations with no physical boundaries, only ideological groupings?

How long before someone sets up a floating squatters island where those who can afford it live only in a virtual world with all their other needs taken care of?

Can you give up you're real world nationality/identity in favor of an online persona?
