No man’s land

Construction planning for an extremely remote residential community to be built by robots is afoot.

American proponents of the property project expect to have the one-of-a-kind dwellings ready for occupancy by 2040.

ICON, a Texas-based construction company specializing in printing buildings, is the reported contractor. It plans to source all building materials on site, as transporting them to the location is impractical and pretty expensive.

The homes to be built on the moon would be habitable in a few decades, Raymond Clinton Jr., a National Aeronautics and Space Administration adviser, told The New York Times, according to Fox News.

"I wish I could be around to see it," he said.

Ironically, living on the moon would be easier than on a mysterious South American island trying to gain international recognition.

Officials of the United States of Kailasa visited Paraguay recently and signed a memorandum of agreement with Arnaldo Chamorro, chief of staff to the latter's agriculture minister.

The memorandum signed by the two parties envisaged the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two "countries," Agence France-Presse reported.

However, Chamorro was soon fired for dealing with officials of the USK, which Nithyananda Paramashivam reportedly heads.

Chamorro later confessed that he had been fooled by the USK's purported officials, which could not be found on the map because it does not exist.

Paraguayan media also reported that "Paramashivam" was, in reality, an Indian citizen wanted for crimes committed in his country.

The agriculture ministry issued a statement lamenting "procedural errors" and said the memorandum of cooperation with the USK "cannot be considered official," nor does it confer any obligations on the state of Paraguay.
