That's good. We wouldn't want any irresponsible people setting up new areas...

First, you need to decide how big an area you need. Small areas are easy, because there are many small spaces available behind dumpsters or under stairwells. However, to find a large area you will have to either set up in an undesirable region or aquire space from others. This is often done through a lease, but if you have enough funds you can purchase space from others for your area. If you have enough resources, you can just take the space you need for your area, like Iraq did with Kuwait.

Then you need to decide what to put in your area. I'm partial to houses, but a theme park is always good. Avoid shopping malls, there are too many. For small areas an espresso stand will work, or perhaps just a bean bag chair to sit on.

If it is to be a private area, then you can stop there. Otherwise, you need to let others know about your area. There are many possibilities here, but I suggest by telling your friends.

Please do not distribute this information. If any irresponsible person off the Usenet knew how to set up an area, then we'd be in trouble.

Remember: You can never be too vague when describing a problem. Sysadmins are all psychic anyway.
