This is a presentation on why Pluto should be self-governed and decide for itself whether it should be a planet or not.

1. Pluto
Still a Planet
In Loving Memory of those who were lost in the trans-Plutonic wars

2. Why should Pluto govern
itself? “Once a planet, always a planet!”
-Plutonian motto
Pluto has been a long standing member of the
planetary community
Pluto never agreed to be governed by any Earthborn
committee
Pluto has a sizable civilian population which is
oppressed under the new leadership
Pluto will stage revolt if not given control back

3. What resources would a
self-governed Pluto offer?
Trade - Pluto has a great amount of metal ore, ice, and
weapons technology to sell to off-planet merchants
Military - In addition to weapons technologies, Pluto
could stand as a forward military base on the forefront of
interstellar exploration Projected Off-Planet Research Hours
15000
Science - Pluto could
serve as a base for 11250
scientists to experiment
7500
under different natural
conditions than Earth 3750

4. What social benefits are gained
by Pluto’s self-government?
The cultural expanse that is upheld by the Plutonian
public could reveal itself to Earthborn peoples
Artwork and music would not be lost to an oppressive
government influence
A diversity of interplanetary governments would allow
for fair solutions to planetary and interplanetary
disputes, without bloodshed

5. What threat would Pluto
pose if given self-control?
Given that the standing population is
the integral from zero to two on a
cartesian coordinate system of the Plutonians Locations
function f(x)=x with respect to x, On Earth On Pluto
A.K.A. two persons, and the entire
population is bound to Earth and are
only Plutonian citizens by paper, no
military threat would exist 100%
Plutonian citizens are characterized
as lazy, so the political & social
threat level would be minimal

6. How would the economy of
Earth fare?
Pluto’s Economy Earth’s Economy
The Plutonian citizenry is 0.0001%
already monetarily invested
in Earth, so it would be
economic suicide to not 99.9999%
stay heavily involved in
Earthly economics
Size comparison of the Plutonian economy vs. the Earthly economy.

7. How much of a trade benefit
could the solar system see?
Projected Interplanetary Trade (millions of $)
1000
Our researchers are
750 only speculating, but
there could be a
500
? growth of more than
10,000% in
250
interplanetary trade

8. How could researchers
utilize a free Pluto?
Researchers could develop new weapons in Pluto’s
vast fields of nothingness, without harming anyone
Also, vast experiments, such as the Large Hadron
Collider, could be set up on Pluto, costing less for the
land and disturbing no one
Amount of Pluto Used (in sq. miles)
4
Researchers could utilize
3 Pluto’s cold atmosphere
2 to set up experiments
1 that need to be closer to
0 absolute zero

9. What would political leaders
gain from a free Pluto?
Any political leaders who campaign for Pluto’s release
from oppressive UN treatment may expect Plutonian
campaigning for that politician in their next race

self-government may get one free hug certificate
