The Real Deal

Hello there! I'm Osnir and I'm very glad to meet you! So please, let me try to explain what this page is about. This page is not a scam, or some way for me to make money. No, this is a page describing how you can make your very own country. Now, for some people this may sound stupid, but please, let me explain.

I'm talking about making a country. But, there are many ways to do this. You might own a lot of land and decide that you want to be part of something new. You might own an island and declare independence. However you do it, making a country can be very rewarding.

You might make your country to protest about something. You might make a country so you can stop idiots getting in. You might start a country so that you can be the ruler. You might start so that you can create, like many have tried before, a utopian society. Then again, you could do it just for the sheer awesomeness of the thing. This page is just describing some of many ways you could do this, if you're not interested, than you've probably already gone.

Here are some simple steps to making a country:

Step 1.: Decide what kind of country you would make and why, maybe you could use one of the reasons listed above, or, just come up with your own.

Step 2.: Work out how much money will be involved. Now, this is important. If you plan to spend nothing, then aim small and build yourself up. Many projects have been created using no money and just a little bit of effort. However, if you really want to impress with your nation, try spending some ridiculous amount, but have a good look in the market first. Decide, do you want an island, or just land. If you want an island visit here, if you want land, decide on the place, decide how much you will spend, and then do it. Generally even just small islands are very expensive. Heres an example, at present (06/26/08) an island called "Ronde Island," an island of 2000 acres is being sold for $100,000,000. But, for only $20,000,000 in Western Australia, you can buy 30,000 acres. That's about the same size as Washington D.C!

Step 3.: Be committed: If you really want your own country it takes a little effort. Not only do you have to buy and run the island but there are problems of electricity, water supply, food supply and invasion. In 1972 a group of "freedom fighters" who seeked to make their own utopia, landed on the Minervan reefs and decided to stay. They began building buildings and making there two atolls into the "Republic of Minerva." Unfortunately for them, people from neighboring countries noticed them an within only hours the army from Tonga, a small island nation in the Pacific (Close-ish to Hawaii), came and captured the islands for themselves. That group had apparently raised nearly $100,000,000 for their cause.

So, if you really want to make your own country, for any number of reasons, follow the simple steps above, and the advice on wikipedia. I'm sure you will all make the best presidents in the world!
