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. how cheap do you think it is to hire an army? you would have to keep it forever, once you disallow it, the country that claims right on the island will invade.. 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.. Well, Panama is a member of NATO, however, since we don't really invade the island they won't have to do anything. We buy it and declares it independent. And since we will not strike against Panama first I think that the UN won't do anything either.

Yeah, we'd be land-owners. I'm not really into the Panamanian laws, but I'm pretty sure you can do most things on your island (as long as it's not illegal, which I highly doubt it is to declare your own nation). Also, what would they do? Invade us? Okay, sure, but we'd have our own army. There are not many more things they could do. Even if the UN condemns our actions, nothing more would happen. I don't say it would be easy, however, it wouldn't be easy to build a new island either. It's probably easier to find fundings for building a new nation to.

There is a big difference. If we declare a small, economically uninteresting, island independent in a non-militaristic democratic nation like Panama, they would probably not agree with us doing that, however, it would not be worth it. Remember that funding a invasion is quite a big deal. A big mistake that Michael Oliver did was that he did it in Tongan waters, and Tonga is a monarchy where the king has power. He also build it in a good fishing area (that might have just been an excuse though).

100 to 1000 soldiers is enough to protect that small Island. As long as it has civilians they won't just bomb in the Island that is violation. A small navy is enough with missile defense. Just small enough deterrent and media coverage and they will not touch us.

We will be using the power of the media. This is a different story this is not a rebellion. lol Before creating that Island we will create a buzz in the media. Make a hype on the project make the people love it. If the Island is on the international water no one would touch it or face an international sanctions and face open war.

Find a suitable island, governed by sufficiently corrupt politicians. Pay enough of them to declare the island a sovereign territory. Paying politicians is always cheaper than doing the work yourself.
