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.

Actually, I think communism scales a little larger than a mere 150. With some minimal management skill, you can easily add a zero to that number. With better management, you can add one or two more zeros. With superb management, add yet another zero. A charismatic leader might be good for multiple zeros, but individual leaders only last a lifetime, no matter how charismatic. Without management, and trust in the management, your number of 150 is about right.

And this yet another trap: the economy is not all there is for human societies.
One needs governance not just management. With the note that governance does not necessary imply government.
