Title: so i was playing around on google earth and i found this island...
Post by: Anon136 on March 27, 2013, 04:42:07 PM
The wikipedia article says its completely uninhabited has fresh water, quite a bit of land mass, feral pigs. Wikipedia also says "Area Outside Territorial Authority" but the nearest sovereign is notoriously friendly to markets.

what do you think gents? it looks like the perfect place to form a new country.

we would have to survive by selling capitalism. its not like we would be producing massive amounts agriculture or minerals.

The main economy could be arbitriaging virtual currency.  Maybe we should bring this over to r/xnation .

haha yea this is true. You could probably buy internet access even out there if enough moderately wealthy people got together.

You can get similar land in southern Chile for very cheap.  It's difficult to make it work.  There's a reason this is uninhabited.

a capitalist society could easily adapt to rising oceans.

Any idea how much an island was sold for? we could potentially use a trusted member in the libertarian community to "kick-start" the project (basically he could take pledges instead of actual funds, and only if the amount of money necessarily to purchase the island was pledged in total would anyone be charged)

I vote doug casey as he has some experience in this relatively obscure field.

According to Wikipedia:
Auckland Islands
Highest point   Mount Dick

Good luck buying them from New Zealand. If the island's government will not join secret freemason and zionist union for world domination, they will be declared as axis of evil and invaded by USA to fight terrorism. And Mount Dick will be like Mount Suribachi in Iwo Jima.

I have to admit, Mt. Dick does sound like a good name for a Bitcoin exchange.
