[QUOTE=O'10er;20381374]Unless you managed to artificially make oil, metal, raw material etc deposits on your artificial, you'd require lots of imports. If you invaded another country, even if it is just a Caribbean island, you would have to prepare for the possibility of sanctions from countries that supply you these imports, which would mean you a) Wouldn't be able to supply your army (Fuel for vehicles, raw materials for guns, ammunition, etc) And your country (Fuel for industry, raw materials for housing, etc). The only way it would work is if the Caribbean island you where invading had lots of deposits, which you could use instead of imports. But then you'd need to both manage the conquered Caribbean island and your original island, thinning out your already small amount of resources at hand.[/QUOTE]
Nah, we don't need any of that, we can be omish!
If I were you I would just buy Tropico. It'll be cheaper in the long run.

This guy got the right idea.
Anyone got the whereabouts of an abandoned oil rig? With time we can expand it.
We shall call it Facepunchia.
I would like to recommend you to immediately seek help.
1. It's pretty much impossible to build an artificial landmass. There's nowhere to put the foundations.
2. I don't think there's anywhere in the Caribbean that hasn't been claimed already.
3. No private security firm will let one of its squads be nationalised, especially by some two-bit Great Pacific Garbage Patch wannabe.
4. You definitely won't get away with invading other countries willy-nilly.

You're right, Rome didn't build it's self in a day. We better get moving!
Just got back from walking across campus and already have 37 posts. I feel appreciated, haha.
Criminals will be taking three miles out to sea blinded folded and forced to walk the plank in traditional fashion. If they manage to find out which direction the island is, and survive the swim back, they will be pardoned.
Also, titles of nobility will be sold
$100 - Count/Countess
$250 - Duke
$500 - Baron
$1000 - Gold Member
Also, about the "hard to build artificial islands" comments, my plan is to A) Hope technology to do that expands by time I've come by enough wealth to put it into action and, B) Invest in expanding technology for artificial islands.
It would be easier just to purchase an island in a small archipelagic nation, declare independance and buy out any government officials that say otherwise. That way you would save yourself the hassle and expense of an artificial landscape.

Plus, Garry will be elected to High Office of Technology.
If you can show proof of Gold Member here on Facepunch, you get a discount at all our brothels :haw:

Why thank you kind sir.
Start by building some artificial reefs, that'll provide some marine stability that you could maybe build on in the future. Plus tourism.
Can I be science minister?

Sure, why not. Since you have an avatar of Jesus, you can be Minister of Science & Religion.
Have fun with your new job! :buddy:
Why would you put it in the Caribbean? There's hurricanes there :ohdear:
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;20382182]Why would you put it in the Caribbean? There's hurricanes there :ohdear:[/QUOTE]
True, but I figured it was the best place for a small island. That or somewhere in the south Pacific, but that' kind of far from where I live.
Warm weather = Good tourism
Requesting to be a General in the Imperial Army of Scorpious
[QUOTE=raccoon12;20382227]Requesting to be a General in the Imperial Army of Scorpius[/QUOTE]
You can start off as Major for spelling my name wrong :mad:
:(
Realistically you could start a micronation on the internet.
Also, you could buy Sealand which is technically a separate country despite being inside British waters. That'd be amazing for transport to mainland too where you can get hold of everyday resources.
[QUOTE=raccoon12;20382262]:([/QUOTE]
That's better.
Now you can be a Colonel with good opportunities for advancement.
