    It's manifest destiny without any real drawbacks like fighting an indigenous population or be scolded for ruining the environment. They get to be the founders of a new world, and live forever in history. They get to go to a place without law or culture and completely define it themselves. No regulations, no labor movements, none of that stuff. Just a big blank slate to build a capitalist monarchist theocracy on. Where the godking is the founder/CEO and the religion is doing labor and dying on a barren rock for the stock prices.
