I don't think it will be a good idea, because Germany is no island, an OS only makes sense if you can use applications, an own OS would have no applications when started. Developing all the standard application ( Office packages, Data management systems, CAD, ... ) would cost more than developing the OS.

Oh, don't forget there are a lot of existing free and OpenSource OSes that are advanced compared with AmigaOS ( memory virtualisation, SMP, scaleabillity, support of more and better filesystems, support of massive paralell systems aka clustering, network support, user rights management, more than 2GB Ram, 64 bit addressspace, support of different hardware and CPU platforms, Unicode )

Try, if you want to make fun of the last existing Amiga users.

Currently the AmigaOS users (every flavour) should try to find a way out of the stagnation without the need of an closed source OS making company. Getting out of stagnation does not mean they should ask their goverment for help, it means a plan b when their OS making company goes belly up.
