Remember the big portraits of yourself looking heroic, framed by flags. No real country (dictatorship) can exist without some cult of personality.

And I won't be a dictator, I'll be an emperor! What differences there are between the two are irrelevant :v:
Oh lord, some of the micronations on wikipedia are scary This is the description of the "Other World Kingdom" founded in 1996 An absolute monarchy/matriarchy with strong BDSM themes, [B]in which women rule over all men[/B]. It is located in the Czech Republic.
Yeah TOWK is probably going to be like the sixth place I invade.
Is there going to be a monarchy?

Make the island penis shaped.
If you can find a suitable island, I will gladly offer approximately ninety percent of my current monetary assets on the condition that I will later on be instated into a position of high authority in your defensive/offensive forces.
I don't very much fancy the idea of an empire being built by the wealthy for the sake of conquest.

I was thinking just buy a small cruise ship and live on that.
Since Chile is fucked up right now... :smug:

There's this whisky you can buy and every bottle you buy you get 1 square foot of land on some island, because the whisky makers don't want the place to be built on. You could buy a bottle of that and stick a flag on your square.

And the island would have to be in international waters once he owned the whole thing.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;20483021]Whiskey won't be the problem. I'm all for drinking :smug: Though the international waters part would be a bit tricky.[/QUOTE] That's true. Anyways perhaps you should compile a list of people who are confirmed in government positions/will be in government positions. Make sure to put me on there.
Biggest issue would be living that long. You'd have to deal with actually living and being coherent enough to manage the country to the same ideals you held originally, then the dangers of assassination and revolt in the later parts of your life long term when separate factions start to become established. Also instead of invading nearby islands your best is to annex them under their own free will, otherwise you'll have international backlash and a whole lot of shit coming from countries much larger than you are.
So, the new plan is... Donate money to our Emperor, let him buy a TON of whiskey, then he shares out the whiskey we paid for between us, and then keeps the land and founds our Empire?
What you should do is build a gigantic artificial landmass offshore a high population country under the guise of a garbage dump that you will donate to said country when finished, while seeding their economy with your wealth, so they will have unknowingly developed a reliance on the funds you put into their economy every year, through means of investors or otherwise. Then, once the "garbage dump" is complete and pending activation, start delegating with the country's government, mentioning that if you do not receive full independent status, you will pull all of your investments from their economy, which would plunge them into a nigh-unrecoverable depression.

That's a good point, Alchohol laws, what are our alchohol laws?
Uhum, did our nation got invaded and we leaved our land ? NO. I vote to let this idea rise and shine.
