Seagoing entities (Rise of the Statelets)

In OTL there are a number of large cruise ships which effectively offer those in long term residence on them habitation outside any tax jurisdiction.

In the Rise of the Statelets scenario these ships set themselves up as autonomous entities. The route taken is similar to that of the MNCs in TTL, and there is some overlap between the two categories. Various categories of 'ship jurisdictions' emerge - some are 'localities' offering specialist manufacturing and service setups, covering everything from 'bonded warehouse' services to venues for international organisations and discussions.
