Is it worth it? Can you buy an island with people on it?

why not?

Can you work the people considering it is your island? I mean develop your own country. Not officially but you 'now

>> No.16986379

a)you buy them off
b) they just stay and resume with their daily life

>> No.16986385

>>16986379
Can you not tell them to leave? Or tell them what is permissable on your island??

>> No.16986387

>>16986374
Don't think so. Think of it like owning a fief except you don't collect taxes.

>> No.16986398

>>16986385
It depends on the country jurisdiction the island is in.

I'm just being speculative of what I heard from my immigrants friends who inherited lands back in their 3rd world countries for their old relatives.

Yes, you can do whatever you want.

You wont be recognized as a country by other countries though. If you have money enough, you could even colonize an asteroid and get your people/servants to live there. Gotto think big.

Portugal has some cheap islands. When BSV is $100k I might buy one and start a new civilization.

>>16986413
You have to have more money than Sealand. That way you can build your own fleet and be the raider yourself.

Sounds suicidal. Surely you'll need a backer otherwise NATO will call you a terrorist organisation I would think.
