You are really serious about this project, are you? This is as I earlier said a really interesting project. Here's a link to a similar project: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_UtopiaWe could maybe contact them and see if they have any advices on how we should move on? I am really serious about this project. But I need time to finalize all the plans, as I am working on another project also (buying Amazonian rain forest). Yes... any advice will be welcome.

Yes... any advice will be welcome. make this project a priority, it will bring more attention and good things to bitcoin also somehow make sure that the users who invest can't be scammed (so they know it) and they will invest, this way it unlikely to get millions of $ since the New Utopia scandal ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Hey guys, what about selling some shares for litecoin as well? Sure, it's an alt-coin, however it is the original scrypt-coin and there are many rich litecoiners! So why not let them join this project?

Hey guys, what about selling some shares for litecoin as well? I don't have a problem with this. But as a first part of my assessment study, I am currently studying what are the legal implications of setting up an artificial island at Saya de Malha. I don't want to invest millions of $$$, and then allow the Mauritian Navy to dynamite it. I want to make sure that the island is legally viable.

I hope you find out there is legal clearance in the chosen area. (20% of the land will be held as reserve)...
Pre-mined land coin? /just kidding

Pre-mined land coin? No. Some space is needed for administrative buildings, nature reserves, hospitals.etc

Well... the Minerva reefs are not located in the international waters. They are located inside the Tongan EEZ. So no surprise there.

Sealand already had such idea. There might be bigger problem with creating this "artificial island".
South of USA, there is nice, cute spot.

if there was land here earlier it's relativly shallow, we just need to pour some concrete or sand to raise it above see level.. Sealand is different, they just claimed a WW2 platform that was already there ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) we need to create a new island..

This needs considerable investment not less than 100 million plus a private army to protect your project.

To build an artificial island of 10 sq. km surface area, we need billions of $$$ in investment, not millions.

I still think it would be easier to just buy an island (this for example: http://www.privateislandsonline.com/islands/cebaco-island), hire an army and declare it a nation. Would be a lot cheaper aswell.

Nah, Panama don't even have a standing army. We wouldn't need a really big army either. Also, if building a new island would cost billions of dollars we could for those money have a small standing army for a long time.

I'm not sure but I think the USA protects Panama? but you do have a point, still the most wise decision would be not to take any risksthere is no country that will surrender its soverignity to a new formed country with no former history and no international support, the blue helmets might even help the country that is trying to restore its goverment over the territory..
