The Republic of shatoshi...
I just hope a storm does not knock out power for any long period of time or we would all be SOL lol
Shatoshi? But this is a really good idea, but how would we make it a country if we buy the island which is owned buy another country? What if we got sealand to accept bitcoin? http://www.sealandgov.org/

This may sound funny, but the idea is not even so weird. I would like to live on an island with people who dont have a specific religion, and work for and use BTC. Where can I sign in? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Buying an Island is not a problem. Proclaiming it country might be bigger one. Besides I think crypto currencies belong to Internet.

We are gonna need some missiles and shit to defend our sovereignty though
Contact Viktor Bout. He might be able to help you. However, I am not sure whether he accepts BTC or not.

You don't really need a physical land, it will be stupid to rebuild it from scratch. You only need a virtual land attached to the physical world, which makes the physical world a sub-set of this virtual land (the physical world have very limited freedom, maximum 4 dimension, but a virtual world can have unlimited dimension)
Any country's financial system on this planet is only a sub-set of bitcoin network

Do you mean like a virtual country? A digital nation? If that is possible it sounds like a really cool idea!

Do you mean like a virtual country? A digital nation? If that is possible it sounds like a really cool idea! It already exists but not with BTC, instead it's Linden Dollars. It's called second life. Personally I tried it once and found it stupid, but it's a good base start.

Great idea I have to say but mafias and drug dealers would stick around this place. You'd need to get bitcoin to another level. Basically, you'd need to make it spendable without your computer. Maybe some sort of paypass bitcoin card?

With its servers placed on international territory or something. That would be really cool.

None the less, if more members are interested in creating a such world count me in as designer, web designer and a few other things I do on the side ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) EDIT: No need for international servers.

Every square inch of the earth (not only the land, but the oceans also) is currently claimed by some UN nation. They will not allow the creation of a Bitcoin island. The only option for Bitcoiners is to migrate to some less populated nation like Nauru, and take it over. But international law prevents such a takeover.

Or, we could all decide on one location and move there. Some location that is already friendly to our ideals, but has a small enough population and government footprint that we can affect change. Damn, http://freestateproject.org/ beat me to it.

Still, since we have some money the Nauru government will totally cooperate. (Nauru doesn't really have any money)

I'm in. Let's do this!!! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) OK, so how do we go about this? Let's see, I personally can create a virtual world in Flash which is supported by Windows, Mac and Linux. Mobiles are a problem here... We do however need some sort of blockchain and I must admit that it is beyond my skills to embed blockchain in the Flash platform. Apart from that, I can definitely create a virtual world including stores, etc, in Flash, all backed up with a database and cross-platform third party tools like Zinc or Haxe. I will need help though if we want it fast. We can call it BitCountry BitCointry ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) - or something. If something like this is created then maybe we can start shaping things the way we want them? We will probably need to seek legal advice when using a virtual world to sell real life products legally. I don't know, it's a start, but I am up for it ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) EDIT: Seriously, imagine the possibilities of creating a REAL WORLD - game - where everyone is happy! EDIT 2: OP. I think I love your idea and my wife will probably hate me for not going to bed before 4:00am because I am working on this.... Edit 3: Are we trying to create the Matrix here? I know I have mentioned this before but....

Looks like a nice place. Are those < 600 friendly or blood thirsty?
A census taker once tried to test them. They ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

No country will allow unlimited immigration to the point that the natives become only a fraction of the population. Already in Nauru, only around 60% of the population is native.
