Whenever conversations of female self-reliance come up, they are relegated to the romantic sphere. However, female sovereignty is pertinent when it comes to relationships with the state. When I say the state, I mean the country, city, and locality that you currently live on or have claims to. Within the past two years, the COVID pandemic has shown how ineffective states can be when it comes to managing crises. Some people lived in countries where they felt their fellow citizens did not have their best interests at heart. Others felt that they were living under the tyranny of the state. With protests and lotting against COVID vaccines, racism, mask mandates, it has become relevant than ever to have a second passport.

I have said it before, and I will say it again, the most powerful thing that a woman can do is deny access to herself. In a more globally interconnected world, countries will continue to vie for socio-economic and political power. Within our lifetime, we saw the complete decimation of the British empire. Which empire will be the next to fall? With all this in mind, you always want to be able to flee a situation that does not serve you. If the country that you are currently living in is going to shit, it is time for you to GET THE FUCK OUT. 

When women could not own property or bank accounts, they held jewelry. Precious metals like gold and silver, could be traded and sold when women needed to flee. A sovereign woman should be able to thrive, survive or exit state violence. Sometimes, you can thrive and survive state violence. However, a second passport gives you the power to exit state violence.

An alternative passport and crypto are modern-day gold. 

Citizenship by Naturalization and Marriage

This is the simplest and most common method of gaining permanent residence/citizenship. I would not recommend that you marry someone solely to get citizenship unless you are in a very dire situation. However, an alternative would be to work for a company in the country where you want to live. Alternatively, you can ask your company to relocate you to a foreign office. 

Citizenship by Ancestory

There are countries where people are eligible for citizenship/residency based on their heritage. These are most common in Europe and a list of such countries can be found here. Some of these countries include Ireland, Germany, Poland, Isreal, Ghana, India, and Italy.

Citizenship by Ancestory might also apply to people whose ancestors were members of a former colony. 

Citizenship by Investment

If you have a couple of tens or hundreds of thousands lying around, you could easily get foreign citizenship via investment. These countries can be found here. Some of these countries include Portugal, Turkey, St Kitts, Greece, Ireland, and Malta.

WTF is Happening?

This is a new section where we read up on the latest socio-economic and political issues affecting our world globally.

China is increasing its grain storing capabilities: China plans to increase its grain stockpiling program with the addition of 10.85 million tonnes of storage capacity, Reuters said, citing official media reports. Beijing has strengthened its focus on food security and pledged to increase grain supplies. China has more than 650 million tonnes of grain storage capacity. (Link is here)

Question: What is the main objective of doing this? Last year, China had a swine flu outbreak that lead to economic loss in the gross domestic product. Could this be a response to the outbreak?

Kazakhstan Protests: violent protests in Kazakhstan in recent days have seen the government resign and the declaration of a state of emergency as troops from a Russian-led military alliance head to the Central Asian country to help quell the unrest.

It's the biggest challenge yet to autocratic President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's rule, with initial public anger over a spike in fuel prices expanding to wider discontent with the government over corruption, living standards, poverty, and unemployment in the oil-rich, former Soviet nation, according to human rights organizations.

Question: What will be long term implications of Russian involvment in this situation?

Questions that all Salonnieres should think about:

1. What are you uniquely equipped to give the world?

2. With the changing geopolitical and global order, which country is well-positioned to be an ideal position for me in the future?

3. If I could cut and paste aspects of the lives of my favorite celebrities and heroes to create my life, how would my life look?

4. Do women not like investing/crypto/stock trading etc, or do men have the biological advantage of testosterone that makes them more prone to risky behavior?
