They may be sensitive military establishments or secret research installations which require much more space or freedom than is available in a conventional military base. There may also be a wider variety of permanent residents including close family members of workers or trusted traders who are not directly connected with its clandestine purposes."

| Mar 10, 2019 at 1:21 | comment | added | JBH | Per @cegfault's answer, yes. The difficulty is logistics. Food and supplies must be shipped in. The results of research or manufacturing shipped out. It's plausible, but a logistical nightmare. Remote locations are your friend - places where you can shoot someone you don't know and not worry about it. | |
