airplane runways in it to keep others out. This also has the effect of keeping everyone in. Unfortunately human nature and need will force you to trade with the outside eventually and then the immigrations and emigrations begin. It doesn't really work. Even in the Stone Age, people were trading far and wide and waging war.
I am setting up a futuristic story about such a "country" that is set up in the northwest within our corrupt country which by this time is ruled by a dynasty of Bush emperors. Running the dynamics on this, on paper anyway, has yielded some interesting and unexpected results. In real life it wouldn't work though.
