Officials with the corporation (MKG) that would develop free cities are already in talks with the Jamaican government, according to this report. (Use Google translate if you don’t read Spanish).

The free cities effort, like seasteading, is essentially a movement to create new social operating systems that will give people more opportunities to vote with their feet (or their boats).
