Absolutely. What few people realize is that nations are competing with each other and this is a perfect example of how you can differentiate.

However, your options may be limited at present, or you may have "roots" where you are. If I was founding a nation on the water with Peter Thiel, or in space with Elon Musk, you can bet I would advertise quite loudly that this (and for example pharmaceutical price gouging) would be criminalized.

Today, well, put your votes into people who support it and/or be willing to relocate towards those politicians.



I think that's a pipe dream. I once read that true freedom is the freedom to choose where to live, but our world is moving towards closing borders even more, and they were never really open. So I don't think nations compete on that front. Internally local people compete for the ruling opportunity, nations don't compete to attract citizens.
