Mint passports of a country and hold more of them than anyone else, and you are its candidate. Once the country has 50 passports, it closes 24 hours after its last mint. At that moment the candidate becomes its president forever and takes its treasury, 20% of every passport ever sold there.
Every passport also earns rent. Each time someone mints a passport anywhere on the map, 35% of its price is shared by every other passport. And every passport holds 1,000 $MAP.

A passport of the country you choose, with its number. It earns rent from every mint by someone else anywhere on the map, it counts in its country's election, and it holds 1,000 $MAP.
Once a country has 50 passports that aren't burnt and a candidate, it closes 24 hours after its last mint. Every mint, by anyone, gives it another 24 hours. A country with fewer than 50 passports stays open until someone mints it up to 50.
The country's treasury, 20% of the price of every passport ever sold there, and the President passport. Nobody else can take money out of a country's treasury, the author included.
$MAP starts trading 4 hours after the first mint. From then on you can burn a passport for its $MAP. A passport fills with its 1,000 $MAP evenly over a day: 250 at six hours, 500 at twelve, all 1,000 after 24.
Yes. A passport of a closed country earns rent exactly like an open one, because the whole map pays it. If you sell a passport, the rent it earned before the sale stays yours.
Every resale pays a 5% royalty to the $MAP pool, and it is split 37.5% rent for every passport, 37.5% to buy $MAP back and burn it, 15% protocol and 10% world treasury.
A country's population is its passports that aren't burnt when it closes, and its President passport carries it. When the last of the 200 countries closes, the wallet holding the most population takes the world treasury: 10% of every passport sale and 10% of every exchange fee and royalty.
No. The author holds no $MAP and there is no presale. No passports are set aside for the author either. The author takes the protocol's share and nothing else, and the rules are fixed in the contract.
