“I also invite anyone from any country in the world, who supports these aims, namely to become free of liars, thieves and tyrants in government, to become a citizen of Forvik,” he [Stuart Hill] added.

He won’t succeed, but something makes me wish he would.

I was just watching a documentary about the Island of Foula in the same area. There are only something like 26 people on it but still seems they are doing fine.
They filmed the movie "Edge of the World" on that island. The movie is about another Island, St. Kilda, which is just about the same size but located in the outer Hebrides. Great movie and fascinating places these remote Scottish islands.

Sounds good to me. It can’t be any worse than an Obama nation.

There was another fellow who homesteaded an abandoned oil platform, declared independence, and made it stick against the British government. A year or so ago, it was up for sale.

This is something I would love to do, set up my own country and have my own laws.

Mr Hill settled on the island after his failed solo attempt to circumnavigate Britain in a home-made boat
"I see a basic injustice that has continued for hundreds of years and has resulted in Shetland being cheated out of the oil money because the UK has appropriated the seabed without any prior right or title," Mr Hill said. Mr Hill is building the first and only permanent building on Forewick Holm from polythene sheets, laminated wood, hardboard and turf, all anchored down by a fishing net to guard against the gales.
Although he has no support with his idea and his residence has no planning permission, he said: "It's all jolly good fun" and "Every pensioner should do something like this."

Yes, I’ve always wanted to be king of my own island as well.
I would build a navy of outrigger canoes to attack surrounding enemy islands. It would be glorious.
