Annotation | Libertarian eutopia. The mountain states of the U.S. plus Alaska and western Canada secede and form a new country, the Western Range and Mountains--known as the Range. The central institution, designed in part to keep population growth under control, is that every person must have a certain minimum amount of land, initially provided by parceling out public lands. Those who fall below the minimum are forced to leave. Since the rest of North America is a poverty-stricken, violent dystopia, this rule is effective. |
