I've always wanted to buy an island. That one looks like a great deal to me, I always thought they started off in the 2 mill+ range for some reason.

I would be interested to know if there are any real downfalls to owning an island. I can't really think of any that would be dealbreakers. Pirates? Storms?

Re: is buying a nicaraguan island stupid?
 
other important issues:

- is this island under thd juristiction of any country? if not, could it be Zeusistan? or Zeusislovakia?

- is there a government under which you would have to answer? again, if not, seems like a perfect opportunity to have MANDATORY 10 drink minimum before boating laws. i bet accidents will reach record high levels, but nowhere near as high as the all important hilarity index.

please to be doing this now.

So this is still under the jurisdiction of Nicaragua? Making it your own country would be even better.

Wait, are you actually balla enough to buy this island? Like realistically? Because that would freaking rule... if you need like, island workers to cut trees and help develop, send PM, I accept housing+food+rum+cigarettes as payment.

buy the island as a poker colony base.

then import locals and force them to play poker on your island, grinding low limits for hours on end.

profit!
