@FernandoTheKoala @Super Testnet So accept the consequences of your choice and stay in the country. The idea that you can get out of consequences free because "leaving is hard" is some chutpah

Or kill the politicians and take it over.

Houses are private property owned by the landlord who used their own money to build/maintain the house. Countries and the politicians who rule them is not a good comparison, and I'd say any politician who thinks they own the country is acting like an African dictator and being shot in the head is part of what they signed up for whether they like it or not.

> Changing house to rent and changing country do not share the same level of practicality That is only because most landlords have noncontiguous holdings whose relative size is small compared to a country. Make a landlord's holdings big enough (and all contiguous) and it starts to be pretty hard to leave, especially if your work and family etc. are all on that property When a landlord gets big enough we start calling him a king, and instead of saying "voluntary rental payments" we start saying "compulsory tax payments" But they are the same thing. A country is like a really big apartment, and the people who live there are tenants who owe payments to the landlords (the government)
