FIFTY
Some names are written in water. Fifty will be carved in light.
Beneath usa.country — perhaps the most valuable address ever to exist — there is room for exactly fifty names. Not fifty-one. One for each state of the union, and never one more. When the fifty are taken, the wall is closed. Forever.
To be among them costs one million United States dollars. There is no negotiation and no discount, because there is nothing here to bargain over. You are not buying a product. You are buying a place — one of only fifty that will ever exist — beneath the single clearest name a nation has ever had.
This is not for everyone. It was never meant to be. It is for the few who understand that the rarest thing money can buy is not a possession, but permanence: your name, alone, in light, above the flag of your country, seen beneath an address the world understands in an instant. Those who need to ask what it is for are, quite simply, not among the fifty.
If you wish, your name may carry a link — to whatever you choose to point the world toward. The name is the monument; the link is your voice beneath it.
A place is open to anyone, anywhere. The United States belongs, in the imagination of the world, to more than its citizens — and so does this. Fifty names, from any nation, beneath the name of one.
One name. One million dollars. One of fifty, for as long as this address exists. Nothing more, and nothing less. A clean and simple thing.
A work by W. T. Falscher. Whether it honours you or reveals you is left, deliberately, unanswered.

Terms
Inscription. For one million United States dollars, your name joins the fifty beneath usa.country — displayed, in light, above the flag. That is the whole of it: your name, among fifty, for as long as this address stands. Payment is made once. There is nothing further to pay.
Fifty, and never more. There are exactly fifty places — one for each state of the union. When the fifty are taken, the wall is closed, and no name is ever added. This limit is real and permanent; it is the whole point.
Permanence. "Permanent" is meant sincerely. The domain and the webspace that carry this work are paid for ten years at a time and renewed again and again, for as long as the world keeps turning. Your inscription is guaranteed for a minimum of ten years, and intended to endure far beyond it.
Your link. If you choose to attach a link to your name, it may point wherever you wish — with one condition. It may not lead to anything unlawful, pornographic, or extremist, nor to content that promotes hatred or violence. A name among the fifty stands for something; what it points to must be able to stand beside it.
Your line. You may accompany your name with a single sentence. Its wording and inclusion rest with the office of W. T. Falscher.
Removal. Should you ever wish your name removed, a single message is enough and it will be taken down. No reason is required. There is no refund — inscription is a one-time act, freely chosen. A place vacated this way is not resold; the fifty only ever diminish.
Eligibility. A place is open to anyone, of any nation, conviction, origin, and faith. Fifty names, from anywhere in the world.
The inner page. Those who become part of the work receive, by email, a password to a hidden page within usa.country — a place the artist keeps for the fifty alone, where he shares something of his work and himself that exists nowhere else, and returns to over time. It is not a reward for payment, but a consequence of belonging: a circle closed between the artist and those who have become permanent parts of his work. Participants may return to it whenever they wish.
In short. One name. One million dollars. One of fifty, for as long as this address exists. Nothing more, and nothing less. A clean and simple thing.For legal information, the Imprint and Privacy Policy of the office of W. T. Falscher apply.
