How to start your own country ?
Have you ever thought or wanted to start your country ? Or at least wanted to know whether its possible or not ? Are there any other people who thought about it before or did they take action ?
If your answer to any of above question is Yes then read the rest
I really wondered to see whether am I able to start my own country, suddenly one day I found “How to start your own country” BBC TV series. Actually its a comedy but its inspiring , it shows that not only others are thinking about it, but also they created a documentary comedy based on this idea !
Then I started googling about this thought, In the “How to start your own country” , Danny introduced a micronation called Sealand

Sealand
Its far from what I thought to be my country. But its a country ! And there are other micronations
but I want something bigger than just a micronation.
Then I found this article that teaches you how to start your own country in just four easy steps.
The first step is “Make sure your are eligible”
and the fist item in this step is to have a defined territory.
Unfortunately my search for a territory failed, On one hand it costs a lot and on the other hand it must be somewhere that the current government accept it unless I’ve got enough army power to defend my country.
So we go to second item which says I should have enough permanent population. I think if I find enough population then I can establish my own army and then I can define my territory and defend it, so it must be the first Item.
I thought to start a web site that let people to register themselves to be citizens of my country , It seemed good thought until I find “Cyber Yugoslavia”.
Its a site that ask citizen of Yugoslavia to register and when their registered member reached 5 million they are gonna apply to the UN for member status and then they start to establish their physical real country. This site launched in 1999 and till now ( 2009 ) only 16768 person registered. For ten years 16768 means 1677 per year and 139 per month and 4 and half per day ( in their site they claim that they receive 600 application per day
).
For an army I need at least 5-10 thousand man and with my calculation It takes 6 years even if I become as successful as “Cyber Yugoslavia” !
Well I think I should investigate more and its not appropriate time for me to starting a country, Coz I dont have enough money and population.
Beside that I wanna establish a developed country not a micronation like Sealand.
