The United Republic of Nano: A United Nations Special Administrative Region for Global Economic and Development Aid (UN:SAR-GEDA)

_______

INTRODUCTION: Brief History and General Purpose Overview

Before the world witnessed what many call the Great Recession in 2008, the United Nations already had plans to aid in such economic crisis in as early as 1997.

The public was made aware of UN’s plans to establish an independent government early in 2000, with the sole purpose of aiding in global recessions through its self-sustaining economy. Funding was expected from the organization's top contributors such as the US, Japan, and Germany, and in turn will receive priority aid. It was in January 2001 that UN had received general approval to establish the proposed government. It was initially called the Micro Republic of Sar.

But the 9/11 attacks in 2001 has forced UN to drop Sar. The organization’s resources were used to aid in US recovery.

It was only in 2006 that Sar was re-opened. Analysts foresaw a great decline in economic activity in a few months’ time. The plans for the macro nation were rushed and funding was approved almost instantly. The go signal was then given in May 2007, and land reclamation commenced in June. Sar was then renamed to Nano after topping off the first visible piece of land above the Indian Ocean where its official flag was first seen.

Prior to its project approval, UN has given a timetable of ten full years before achieving economic stability in the country, and another five before it can lend aid to economic crises.

The purpose of such special government is to help member states of the United Nations during economic recessions and increase the organization’s capacity utilization. Higher investment spending and increased business profits are among many of its core foundations for economic stability. The plan is to keep the city-state of Nano to maintain high international shares in commercial cargo volumes including air freight operations, as well as quick recirculation of monetary funds and resources with targeted GDP (per capita) at around Int$50,000 within its first five years.
