Couldn't open your link but googled fordlandia and found the wiki page.
I hadn't heard of it before.
Strange but fascinating.

I would also suggest as a fascinating tale in Sth America - Nueva Germania set up in part by Nietzsche's sister. Covered in Ben McIntyres book, Forgotten Fatherland

The â breaks the rendering of the link. I'm  surprised that Wikipedia hasn't percent encoded it.
