Etymology

The name Mangupura is a portmanteau of two words, mangu (from Old Javanese mango, lango, langu, and langen, all of which mean the feeling of being captivated or allured by beauty or everything wonderful in general), and pura (from a Sanskrit word pur, which means a town, castle, or fortified city). Thus, the name Mangupura implies that it is a captivating city, a place to find beauty, peace and happiness, a city that brings prosperity to its people, and the capital that fosters a sense of security for the people.

If we had a smaller-scale one, it would either have to be really overbuilt or fail when it was cloudy for too many weeks or something like that, but it would be free of cascading-failure-y problems.
gollark: Less area/stuff to spread problems over.
gollark: Dunbar's number is an incredibly handwavey estimate, but I think the concept is sound.
gollark: Revolutions have always worked well, so this is a good idea.
