Right, I just found
this forum while looking for tips and ideas on Island colonies. It seems that the interest has remained in these mysterious, remote places. Many people long for an alternative reality, where they can live in what they perceive and dream to be paradise. The ride is not easy, I', sure. Having to construct and maintain an island with water and food, as well as shelter and transport if ever you want to have a long-term plan. Also, alternative power to Fossil Fuels would be used with the abundance of sunshine and sea breezes.
I propose at least theoretically at this moment, we look at Islands.
Here are some I have found and will explain why I think they are suitable. If anyone else has any other suggestions, please say. Why live on an island where you aren't going to be comfortable?
Choice 1. Belize coast, 26 acres, $1,490,000.
Choice 2. Port Clyde, Maine. 107 acres. $4,900,000.
Choice 3. Horseshoe Caye, Belize. 33 acres, $750,000.
Choice 4. Little Channel Caye, Caribbean. $350,000
Choice 5. Kukdadhoo, Lhaviyani Atoll, Maldives area. 7 acres. £3,000,000.
So now you have seen the list and maybe found your own, we need to think of independence.
How are we going to make this into a &ToTSE Nation? There are ways you can declare your own Country as some eccentrics have done
within their host Nation, however we need to buy/commandeer an island and declare independence to allow for &T to flourish.
Guides can be found
here and
here. Please give some input in. Would you prefer to take the Island by force or legally buy? Do bear in mind that munitions will cost as will prolonged defence against a pissed off, militarily superior Governmental force.
In order to declare our Island as sovereign we need a Government of our own. No matter how incompetent or far removed from the status quo, it has to conform to the rights demanded by the host Nation of the Island.
We then need to:
- Pick an Island. Feel more than free to suggest one and plans on how to invade in necessary.
- Form a potential Government or Council to take lead of the Island and to get rights off the host Nation.
- Shelter.
- Water source or the ability to build a filtration system.
- Skilled builders, farmers/horticulturalists, hunters and the effort to help.
- Militia. Well armed to keep away dark-skinned people.
- Currency or barter system.
If anyone wants to get the ball rolling, then please do so. I'll come back to this after a think. I'm hypothetically serious. This would be awesome had we the time and money. Who knows. The plans can always be shelved until needed.

The government will end up being interesting to say the least. Who will be the police chief? Also I'm very high right now.
seeing threads like this makes me want to make a thread about my impending marriage to Ke$ha.
That is to say, I'm a pretty tuff dude who probably could use my tuffness to attract kay money but realistic enough to accept that certain things, no matter how great they would be, will never happen in real life, which plays by different rules than t3h innernets. In other words, OP is writing a bigger fairy tale then the three little pigs.
You guys have fun jerkin' it to land masses you can't and never will afford though!
I love you! QFT
That, or i'll chain all the men up to a turbine and make you push.
The women will be busy...
Hmm, I am out of ideas but I would love contacting the sales rep and asking for some islands.
HEHehe
Not all islands have bananas and coconuts growing everywhere either.
Best way of trying to make this work though...
First use google earth to find a nice un-inhabited island far away from others, but not too far. Likely north of Australia. You can get high enough res to be able to identify some trees and stuff.
Next, buy a small sail boat. You can get a 30' Catalina, in fair condition, for $2-5k if you shop around.
Get some friends, and supplies.
Sail to your island and enjoy.
A suggestion though...
Do not try and make it your own nation, the parent country might tolerate you living there if you don't fuck it up too badly, but if you try taking the land, you'll likely have a problem. Google and read about Minerva and Tonga. Bad news.

Just saying, be careful where you chose to do it. Might end up with a few dozen Tongan Marines helping you move.
Tongans are to fat and lazy to go and do anything, besides if we managed to kill off the Tongans somehow we could take over Tonga and turn it into out totse nation. It would be perfect, it has roads, water and electricity and if we poisoned the water supply it would be an easy takeover.
Thanks, I could not find anything on Minerva.
I have no idea what you are talking about
Think so?
They were also trained by the US, and fought under us in Irag and shit. Just fyi.
Try searching "Principality of..."
lmfao
fucking fatbodies
if they tried to invade an island they'd sink it
@OP:
What a vivid imagination. :rolleyes:
And your point is ...
