Nevada bill would allow tech companies to create governments:
Planned legislation to establish new business areas in Nevada would allow technology companies to effectively form separate local governments.
Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak announced a plan to launch so-called Innovation Zones in Nevada to jumpstart the state's economy by attracting technology firms, Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Wednesday.
The zones would permit companies with large areas of land to form governments carrying the same authority as counties, including the ability to impose taxes, form school districts and courts and provide government services.
The measure to further economic development with the "alternative form of local government" has not yet been introduced in the Legislature.
[...] The governor's economic development office did not respond to questions about the zones Wednesday.

There was an episode of Rescue Rangers where the team discovers the Cola Cult, a bunch of mice that literally worship a brand of soda called Coo-Coo Cola. They have a ritual of gathering around a TV playing Coo-Coo Cola commercial (which had a nice jingle) and if I remember correctly they also had "baptisms" in colored soda.
