How to Create Your Own Nation - Like Pitcairn Islands
If you ever think about creating your own nation, there are many ways to do it:
A larger nation can colonize a smaller one and change the name, like the British did with Rhodesia. The opposite can take place; a colony can rebel against its colonial masters, like the Zimbabweans did against Britain. Another possibly less bloody method is to purchase an uninhabited island and secede from whatever nation owns it. Owning land offers more legitimacy to the movement, and since no one was living on the island, the new nation may see less resistance from the government it formerly belonged to. You, however, choose the land-based secessionist route, and this version of nation founding can require the most finesse.
This reminds me of the smallest nation (a British protectorate, actually) in the world that has only 50 people. The name of the country is Pitcairn Islands. Perhaps creating our own countries is not that far away in the horizon.
