Would you like to all your own country? Well, you actually can, all you have to do is get rich and buy your own small island, then set up shop and call yourself your own nation. Many people have done this and they are called micro-nations, and although you can be listed as a nation, you probably won’t get invited to the United Nations, or find many people or other countries who wish to establish diplomatic ties with you.
Nevertheless, not only will you have your own civilization, your own island getaway, but you can have your own country as well. And if you belong to no other nation, you don’t have to worry about taxation, or rules and regulations. You are basically the king of the island, and you make the rules.
Of course, the Pirates could come along and take your island, and there would be no one there to defend you. Perhaps, you might consider this a Catch-22, and then you’ll have to determine what your freedom is worth. You could of course buy weapons to defend yourself, such as anti-aircraft guns, and anti-ship or submarine mines.
However, if you ever have to battle a force much bigger than yourself, you are only likely to piss people off, and when they do find you, you’re history. Therefore, owning your own nation may not be something you really want to do.
Therefore, perhaps you should think about it before you spend tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of dollars buying your own island and country. Indeed, I understand why you are thinking here, and yes it does sound rather interesting, and maybe a great idea. But you have to think on this through a little deeper. I hope you will please consider all this.
