1. From scratch
The young expert in the engineering department has always been a person full of fantastic ideas. He likes to invent new things by himself, such as making airplanes and cars by himself. His hobbies have brought him a lot of trouble, such as his modification The television accidentally hurt his girlfriend's father's eyes and turned him into an ex-boyfriend; his invention caused him to be fined several times by the police for not obtaining a road permit.
The ex-girlfriend is a professor of international law. She often does not understand the male protagonist’s rule-breaking behavior. She knows that the other party is very smart, but she still regrets that this person’s ingenuity cannot be used.
She taught natural law to the students in class, telling them that the idea of natural law is that draconian laws are illegal. The male protagonist just came to her class and very supportive of the idea that draconian laws are illegal. The ex-girlfriend told him helplessly that this is not you Reasons for ignoring traffic rules.
The male protagonist has long been disgusted by the lengthy approval process and the ubiquitous strict control in Italy in the 1960s. He told his ex-girlfriend that he might be able to create a world.
Two, turned out
The male protagonist is an engineering doctor with strong hands-on ability. He quickly came up with specific measures to build a country on the sea, invented a device to build a support platform in the sea, and applied for a patent. In order to avoid sovereignty disputes with the country, He built the platform on the high seas.
His best friend is also a person who has crazy ideas from time to time. When the hero invites him to create a free place, he agrees without hesitation and generously provided financial support.
They built a simple house on a 400-square-meter platform to solve the problem of water and power supply on the island, and named the place "Rose Island Republic".
The island gradually attracted the attention of nearby residents. Everyone regarded it as a novel place. The male protagonist invited all people who had the same idea to come here and issued passports for the people. As long as they agreed to join the Rose Island Republic,
A well-known publicist who has no nationality came to this island, and he quickly made Rose Island famous throughout Italy-as a place of freedom, people can live a free life there.
One day, the ex-girlfriend also passed by the island. She saw the host but told him that it is no different from a free bar on the sea, and it is not what he claims to build a new world.
Since then, the hero has made up his mind to build a real country.
Three, fight for the new world
The Rose Island Republic is in a historical period when the world is changing, the civil rights movement is rising, and all kinds of thoughts are surging. People in various countries have this question in their hearts: "What kind of world is a better world?"
As a result, the Rose Island Republic appeared on the front pages of major newspapers in the world and occupied the headlines along with the Cold War and regional conflicts. With the increase in the number of residents in the Rose Island Republic, the male protagonist carefully checked the conditions for the establishment of the country and prepared for the Rose Island Republic to gain Recognition of others.
Perhaps the male protagonist referred to the following information:
The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States) specifies a series of standards for whether a country is legal in international law. These criteria include: having a certain territory, having a permanent population, having a government, and having diplomatic relations with other sovereign countries.
It turns out that the population and the size of the territory are not fixed standards for establishing a country. The male protagonist and friends are eager to establish a government with only a few people. They are preparing to submit an application for nationhood to the United Nations and the Council of Europe. They are also preparing to develop diplomacy with neighboring countries. relation.
The Italian government didn’t care when it learned the news. It wasn’t until the UN Secretary-General called that the government hurriedly sent investigators to “check out what conspiracy is hidden on this island”, but the two agents arrived on the island as soon as they arrived. Infected by the joyous atmosphere, I completely forgot to call to report the results of the investigation.
A minister believed that the existence of Rose Island challenged the dignity of Italy. He called to threaten the male protagonist to abandon Rose Island and accept the seaside bar provided by the government. Of course, out of the patriotism of the Rose Island Republic, the male protagonist refused the invitation.
"Do you really think you have established a country? A warship can blow you up!"
The male protagonist rushed to the European Council for help. His ex-girlfriend was moved by his persistence and was willing to help him prepare the application materials.
Faithful followers of the Rose Island Republic faced the warship and were willing to live and die together with Rose Island. The Italian government was ultimately unwilling to be condemned by the world, and sent people to take them away, and then finally bombed the Rose Island Republic.
The male protagonist who lost his country was very sad, but he was encouraged by his ex-girlfriend: "It hasn’t changed the world. It’s not bad to have tried to change the world." Later, they stay together for life. The male protagonist accepts interviews from TV stations from time to time. He is old. Publish his own biography at the time.
His attempt has always been a temptation for those who have heard about this: it is possible to build a new world and re-establish the rules. Unfortunately, the history of the Rose Island Republic is too short, otherwise they may start to redesign one. A political system, I don’t know if it will reproduce the history of social contract theory.
The ex-girlfriend's transformation from rejection of the male lead to appreciation is also an impressive part of the film. People with beliefs that are completely different from their own life beliefs may not be unworthy of their applause.
The first publicist who set foot on the island once wondered: "Why are you doing this?"
They replied: "Because we can do it." It was a straightforward answer.
Until now, the mark of Rose Island has not disappeared in the world, and the stamps issued by the Republic of Rose Island have become very collectible.
Tourists like to come to the ruins of the Republic of Rose Island to look for fragments. When soaring in the sea, they will feel that they are embracing the same freedom of the dreamer half a century ago.
