I appreciate your optimism as always, even regarding the GC's whom you believe would not sell their country, but I believe a lot of them would be after money, just like any other human being.
When you buy a house, do you not own the land as well?
How does that work?
It is not about "another state", it is about one less bargaining chip for the GC's to shove in our faces every time, in order to try and get us to join their true little ethnocracy.
Sometimes, and sometimes you only lease it. Most of the times, you have ZERO mineral rights, even if you did own the land, just as you can't build anything you want on it without the approval of the local government. One may own a piece of land, but that ownership does not give the rights to call it another country from the one it already belongs to. Only a country itself can sell part of it's territory to another and not individuals selling their land to another buyer.!
Ownership of the land is another issue. This part of the island now under our control.
You can take the money for your land or wait for a solution which has not come for 35 years, up to you.
So it might not seem like the most pleasant situation, but I believe the monetary value of people will be stronger than their national pride.
Like it or not, unfortunately that is the case with most people.
This is no different to what the GC's wanted to do to the TC's back in the day.
Gave them every opportunity to leave, and made it hell for those who stayed, so here is theirs.
