**At P10 (2045) — aggressive scenario:**
A charter city (likely in the Gulf, a Pacific island, or on a lunar surface) achieves formally delegated immigration authority and begins issuing its own identity documents. For Tamir: dual-income tech founders with residency optionality should evaluate e-residency in early charter cities (Próspera, Praxis, or their successors) as low-cost optionality. The Israeli context is relevant: Israel itself is a small state that could be either threatened by sovereignty fragmentation (if tech talent flows to corporate zones with lower taxes) or positioned to benefit (if Israel creates its own tech-governance zone modeled on the DIFC or Catawba DEZ).

**At P50 (2070) — base case:**
Corporate sovereignty is established but rare — perhaps 2-3 examples worldwide, likely at least one lunar. This is a long-horizon scenario that does not require immediate action. For Tamir's children (who will be in their 50s by 2070): the world they inherit may include "corporate citizenship" as a real option alongside national citizenship. Planning implications: ensure children have strong multi-national credential flexibility (dual citizenship where possible, international education, skills that transfer across jurisdictions).

**At P90 (2120) — slow scenario:**
The nation-state system proves resilient. Corporate zones remain sub-sovereign (own regulations, host-nation passports). For Tamir: this means the current system persists — Israeli citizenship, US tech ecosystem, standard residency planning.

**Israel-specific considerations:** Israel is uniquely positioned in several ways: (1) It is itself a small state that was created partly through ideological community-building, giving Israelis cultural familiarity with the concept of "building a new polity from scratch." (2) Israel signed the Artemis Accords, positioning Israeli companies and researchers for participation in lunar governance structures. (3) Risk: if corporate sovereignty fragments the international system, Israel's security guarantees (which depend on a US-led nation-state order) could be undermined.
