An unethical company is likely would consider a lawsuit to put such private site out of business. A collection of unethical companies would be an exponentially higher risk to such site.

I vehemently disagree that this happens. What you see is the end result, and thinking and struggling through for each element is not present. It is like copying the Mona Lisa and claiming the relationship with the sitting model and her smell and feel and complaints about cramped neck is all in the copied painting.
(Please do not change the cursor, specially the size. There is a reason I changed it.)
I think most red tapes and bureaucracies have loop holes. For example, a different, simpler type of business type, then conversion to the actual desired type. At least, this has been my experience in a few countries I worked in.
Sometimes it will cost more up front, but if the end result is significantly faster, maybe it is worth it.
I am sorry he has to go through this just to start a business.
It has to come with appropriate information, not just a date.
I usually ask for a twisted "STAR" if this is presented to me.
Give me context (who, what, where, when), the planned action in short (and other choices that were considered and why they were abandoned), and the result that the choice will have.
If i have all these, i can quickly context switch, and ask follow ups if needed, or just let it move forward.
This is conceptually what AWS asks for in a one pager.
What is your definition of "techno libertarians"? asking because my understanding is that their primary work and concentration of work is not agriculture; there is no need for "fertile land". They can build stuff on a rock like Hong Kong.
I image this as a bunch of F/LOSS techno peeps living in condos or town homes with postage stamp grass to take care of. they would run off to the shore to do some water activities, go into the town and do some restaurants and some such.
Basically, this reads like an attempt to anchor digital nomads.
I been to St. Kitts & Nevis. The only thing I can remember is the very stark contrast between the commercialized beaches versus where the locals lived, and the roaming cows everywhere.
Nevis (the baseball) was only boat accessible, and St. Kitts (the bat) is mostly hills of national park.
Vast majority of things must be flown or shipped in. I am hard pressed to see some "techno libertarians" doing techno without Amazon/Temu/Walmart/<insert fav vendor> in 24h drop ship.
What?! And thus eschew all the vexation and tribulation of this labor?! Far be it from me to shirk mine obligation to fashion most futile things with great toil and hardship!
Fishing yes, not surfing kayaking (things will eat you :D).
Really just so I can see these neat things. Like these little tiny crabs, maybe thumbnail size at most (Ocypodidae ?). They come out at low tide, have one claw as big as their body, they stand at their hole and wave it at each out other like "hey! check THIS claw out! No, brah, check MINE out!" and, they do this all the way till tide comes in. Or, the rays sitting on their nests and will wait to the last moment to swim away when the tide is going out. At high tide all kinds of bigger things will come in and check the local scene.
Once I have HA linked, I can start a camera record some of this. Yes, it has to be a rube goldberg machine; a digital camera powered by tide, recording kicked of by an over-complicated mechanical device that is also driven by flowing water.
Have you looked at Home Assistant (HA) as your consolidating platform?
I helped set up one in a nursery home with mmWave motion, temp, humidity, switches, electricity flow, etc. If they want to, they can control water faucets, sinks, flushing WC, ceiling fans, heat/cool, plugs and switches.
The beauty is that you just need to find a device with either existing comms "protocol" (e.g., RESTful APIs, MQTT, Zigbee, Z-Wave, BT, BLE, Metter, Wi-Fi) that HA understands, or get one of the many community solutions for others (e.g., LoRaWA, 433MHz, modbus).
A tide flag. As in, a mechanical device that turns a weather-vane-like flag that moves with the ebb and flow. It has to be powered by the tide, and must be able to withstand the elements. And, must look cool.
Then, I will slap an ESP32 & z-wave on it :D secretly to feed my Home Assistant. :D
because the assumption is that he wanted the child baptized by a Polish priest.
Could it be he just wanted the child baptized, no matter if it was Spanish or Polish priest? Then, starting with Latin is the way to get a priest's attention.
Whether 98% is acceptable, it depends on the cost of failure, not the percentage itself.
