what about Bermuda triangle ?
I don't think that's in international waters, and if it is there would be no good banks to place the island on AFAIK. Would be quite awesome to place it in the Caribbean though, much closer to a really important country.

Yes. The Bermuda triangle is too deep to build any artificial structure. And unfortunately, the Caribbean though is mostly lying outside the international waters. Whats wrong with the present location?

"In large parts of the developing world governments are too weak or dysfunctional to perform even the most basic tasks, like securing the property rights of their citizens. According to the 2007 Failed States Index, governments in 129 countries are on or nearing the brink of collapse." ~50% of all governments are/were on or nearing the brink of collapse.I has no idea the number was that high.

And everyone ridiculed dank when he wanted to build an island a couple years ago.
It's easy to spend other people's coins, isn't it dank?

We have selected the shallowest location inside the international waters. There are even more shallower locations available, but they are all located inside some nations Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

Will will not be part of any nation. We will be an independent nation on our own right. So this option cannot be considered.

This is needs a lot money. Not less than 100 million.

Nope, that won't be enough! See this: Some $10 billion USD in funding will be needed to build an island of 10 sq.km in size. That is $1,000 per square meter. So a typical 400 sq.m plot will cost you $400,000.

Yes... unfortunately. We are planning to build the island in Saya de Malha, where the shallowest regions have the depth of 25-30m. So it will be a bit more expensive when compared to the other artificial islands such as the Palm islands.

Some areas of the bank are shallow, less than 10 m (33 ft) below the surface. The shallowest sites known are Poydenot Rock, at a depth of 8 m (26 ft), and an unnamed site 145 km (90 mi) further northwest, with a depth of 7 m (23 ft). The banks are covered with sea grass interspersed with small coral reefs.

So? You're not building at an area of average depth. That would be stupid. You're going to build it at the shallowest suitable location.

Boy... I was talking about building a 10 sq.km island (2,500 acres). That is a very large area. Therefore, the entire location won't be having uniform 10m depth. Some parts might be 50m deep, some others might be just 8 meters deep.

This is very huge undertaking if 10 sq. m is you wanted. You need billions and thousands of people. You are making history here.

That much area is necessary as well. I am planning this island for tens of thousands of people. Don't want it to get ultra-congested, such as cities such as Kowloon. Looking at a Singapore model.

and you just entered history by posting a reply here for other shizzles we should get the area scanned to see how big of an area are those shallow depths.. and to see which location would be the most suitable one
