Who has a desire to start their own country?

Too much accountability for my taste… give me a tiny island and I’ll be happy.

Desir*e*? For starting a country? Nada.

Me. An island. Small population. I’m in charge.

Eh not me. If I had my own country, I’d rule it a certain way that I would, I suppose, imagine to be in the best intentions. However, some people would not be happy. People never are. I’m not entirely sure that I could hack that kinda thing.

I want my own island too, with just me, beer and my horror movies.

Autonomous communities are more my thing. Countries tend to imply hierarchy and such.

No way. Far too lazy. All that queen stuff and pomp and ceremony… your time would not be your own. Paparazzi wanting to check out my tracky daks… no, no, no!!!

Only if I can control the weather too.

I’ve already started my own country. In Facebook Group form…
Our main exports are ass-kicking and kick-ass.
Dibs are legally binding.
Violence is our favorite pass time.
The Ashland Community is fully prepared for the inevitable Zombie Apocolypse, as well as any midget insurrections that may or may not occur.
Eyeballs are our official State Bird.
We urge our enemies to commit suicide to save us the trouble.
Puns are never intended.
Tacos are our favorite dish. Best served warm with lots of sour cream, and cheese.
Pants are optional.
We don’t give a fuck about Fight Club.
Note:
The Ashland Community is always accepting of Slaves, Test Subjects, and Pawns.

If you’re not a born leader then the country will suffer.

Keep that in mind when you start it.

I want to start a large country with difficult borders and no inhabitants, not even me.

I have thought about starting a commune, but not a country. I have been researching “Intentional Communities.”

@Judi Exactly. A commune. That is what I always say. With my best friends and family.

Jaysus. I don’t even want to move from the house that I’m in to a better one on the same street, and you want me to think about “a new country”. Shoot, I’d have to design a flag first, and I don’t even want to do that.

Pass.

@JLeslie ; If I believed in reincarnation I would say we were sisters in another life :-)

When answering another question I came across this list of intentional communites. There is something there to suit every ideology I think.
