Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If you brought land and declared independence aswell as forming a government, you could be classed as a 'micronation!.'

To start a new country, you need recognition from other nations!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. You'd still be subject to some larger country somewhere!. And you really should want it that way!. Otherwise you'd be pretty open to attack and you'd have to maintain an army and all!.

What you'd have would be a company town!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, first you need to declare independance from the country that 'owns' the island!. You will then probably need to fight a bloody civil war to make your point clear, or at least form a political party!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You only need a military powerful enough to bomb other countries into accepting your island as a country!.

Otherwise, it is just an island with a reclusive nutcase living on it!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
