The idea of Lady Gaga being a state in an international system is certainly a fascinating one. The first thing that came to mind when I thought of Lady Gaga was how open she was – she actively tries to make all of her fans, her “Little Monsters”, feel included and like they belong. Because of this, her state would probably have very open immigration, and it would thus be very easy to enter and leave the Lady Gaga state. Other states might criticize this about the Lady Gaga state, the lack of rules regarding immigration. For many states, this is seen as a security risk and an economic liability.
Obviously, one of the defining characteristics about Lady Gaga is her willingness and even desire to buck social conventions and be outrageous. It has gotten to the point where her image – that of someone who deliberately goes against societal norms – is turning into a norm in itself. Because of this, when the Lady Gaga state is first establishes it would probably incite many different reactions. While some might appreciate the openness of the state, many other states would be offended. The state would most likely receive many threats and that has the possibility in erupting in violence.
The Lady Gaga state would ultimately fail. Its economy would not be able to handle the immigration and it would receive threats from many different countries for blatantly ignoring international norms.
