The Island of Long Island is for sale for $1.25 million.
Long Island - 8700 acres - US $1,250,000
This private island is immense, so big, in fact, that there are actually 4 countries in the world with a
smaller surface area! Situated off the coast of central Queensland between the towns of Mackay and Rockhampton, 20 nautical miles (37 km) from the Great Barrier Reef, Long Island is one of Queensland's largest coastal islands. Open grasslands, forests, and a beautiful coastline characterize the island. There are 4 sandy beaches, one of which is 4 km (2.5
miles) long, and the water temperature remains at 20-22 °C (68-72 °F) all year long. Much of the island
is suitable for agriculture, with over 4000 acres (1620 ha) of fertile soil. A 4-bedroom house is
present on the island, along with a private airstrip.

if the Tree of Liberty is ready to be fed...it can begin with me. Not meaning to trivialize anyone's love of country, but seriously either your skin is very thin or you need to get a grip on reality. People don't usually flock to tyrannical countries, and last time I looked there were huge lines of immigrants waiting for their chances to be free here.

I'd like to open the first bank on this Island. Can I be in charge of printing the currency?

"Being Austrailia has some of the largest taxes in the world due to it's 45% welfare roles" You mean they pretend they're on welfare?!?

Why don't we get into negotiations with Belize? Freepers will come to town, upgrade their infrastructure (information technology, utilities, and so forth), in exchange for a 'sovereign' section of land (similar to the Mennonites in Belize) and a few of those GORGEOUS cayes off the coast. We spend the rest of our lives sucking down pina coladas and enjoying the finest Caribbean rums while those who remain in America deal with Hillary Clinton. Sounds like a plan. Click

They're both in their '70s. Tina Louise and Dawn Wells are - but Ginger and Mary Ann will always be in their twenties. ;)

"The prices are pretty reasonable for a lot of islands. I would love to own a couple of them."
Me too.... Guess that's why I'm probably foolish enough to play the lottery. Figure that's the only way I'd be able to buy one of these beauts (sigh)... J
To: Dumb_Ox
Sicko. They're both in their '70s.So what, there are lots of Freepers in their 70's too you know (not quite there myself). Do you think that folks in the 70's just sit around and knit? When Strom Thurmond was about 70 he married a Miss America Finalist, Duke Law School graduate (Summa cum Laude), on his staff, and started another family!
To: Brett66
One minor problem with Belize...no guns allowed. We would have to "fix" that.
To: Brett66
Hmmm...80,000 registered Freepers at $15 a piece. We can do this. :-) Somebody would have to kick in Murry Mom's $15...she can't come. I'm sorry.

Anyone Want to Start Their Own Country? Yeah, I want to start my own country, right here in the USA, based simply upon the Constitution.
