The country

Was just learning about how countries manage their own areas. And Singapore popped up because.. Well they are small, they have limited resources and have high technology.

If they wanted to increase land mass they could collect a little bit of soil in the middle and slowly pile it up in the middle to make a mound and later on a mountain.

Increasing the circumference would come naturally as erosion pushes things down, and.. Maybe growing mangroves at the side would help reclaim land.

Then I wonder what if you made tunnels in the hill. Or maybe a really huge shopping complex that incorporated everything. From water treatment functions, energy generation, food, all other life supporting services, transport, communications.

With dystopian ideas in mind. I think this could be utopia. That they are so self contained they don't need to rely on others outside the pyramid for anything.

They start building the core, then slowly grow outwards. The different tires for different levels of hierarchy. Not nessesary the capstone would be the management. It needs to be nuclear bomb proof. And have its on energy reactor, which would provided its own fresh water. Pumping air would be a really important factor, people would suffocate, something like the systems in a human body. The brain sends signals, cables send messages. The blood gives oxygen and nutrients, and also takes away waste.
Waste and sewage management should be one of the most efficient, to ensure sanitation and healthy well being. Artificial light should be provided inside for vitamin D. All waste should be recycled, organics into compost, and metal into the smelting furnace.

Yeah. That would be an ideal country. With not just an abstract pyramid but also the physical one.
