Just a thought, let's say a guy manages to found a secret civilisation or secret base in a place or places that with normal technology most people cannot reach
Deep underground or deep below the sea or even up above the very skies
Said civilisations or secret bases harvest their own resources and build their own tech
Let's say that one deep below the Earth and near the Earth's crust harvests all sorts of minerals and makes all sorts of machinery and may have lots of "citizenry" that came from the surface of their own free will and may have essentially voluntarily "disappeared"
If these secret civilisations were discovered, would they belong to countries above/below? Would they all be required to pay taxes in-spite of having infrastructure that has very little to do with the infrastructure
Or say if said secret civilisation was more-or-less independent for centuries or millennia before so many modern governments?
Would Britain have legal ownership over the lands of the Wizards of Harry Potter?
Would North Korea have legal ownership of a hidden flying invisible city of bird people that live in their airspace?
