In 2022, the country launched an ambitious strategy to become the world’s first digital nation. This initiative includes 3D scanning its islands to digitally re-create them and preserve their cultural heritage, as well as moving government functions to a virtual environment. In order to protect national identity and sovereignty, the project is also contemplating constitutional reforms to define the country as a virtual state, a concept already recognized by 25 countries, including Australia and New Zealand.

That's awesome and sad at the same time. In 25 years they quit literally will have no country. We are going see a lot more of this in the coming decades and no leaders in charge today are taking this shit seriously.
Hard to see how any country is going to let https://www.marineregions.org/gazetteer.php?p=details&id=8326 go to waste. Artificial islands have been maintained for less.
