you don't understand
you bought the island, you're now a land-owner, not a king
one does not simply declare independence, Panama would still own the territory but it's your house, not your country
just as your backyard in your current country
even countries with history ranging back to the 7th century couldn't simply declare independence without war and you think it's so simple to just start a new nation on an island another country owns
if you want to do that the only way without war is to arrange the purchase of the island with their goverment but not as a property, as a new country
they will certainly reject but that's almost the only way without war..
Also, what would they do? Invade us? Okay, sure, but we'd have our own army.
There are not many more things they could do. Even if the UN condemns our actions, nothing more would happen.
I don't say it would be easy, however, it wouldn't be easy to build a new island either.
It's probably easier to find fundings for building a new nation to.
of course it is, it's a crime against their sovereignty
the world would condemn us because they don't won't such countries declaring independence on their territory too, it would be hard for us to trade
and our trade would greatly benefit bitcoin because they would have to trade into our national currency sometimes
of course they would invade, look at this realistically
isn't it more simple to build and island in peace instead of spending money on guns, tanks, helicopters, mercenaries, their salaries and having people die for a war we might not even win
set this as an example, Panama has almost 4 million population out of wich they could certainly gather at least a 100 000 soldiers to defend it's territory voluntarely and they will be well armed by a country that exist a long time while we would have to pay a 100 000 soldiers each at least 3000$ monthly (300 000 000$ per month) and count the prices for weapons,food,water,ammunition..
+ our soldiers would have lower moral because they are only paid to do this while the Panama soldiers are fighting for their own teritorry
But on the other hand it is a quite big island that might be worth to defend... If we do it on a smaller island they would probably not bother to do anything about it.
they definitely will
just check out what happend to the Minerva Reefs and other countries Michael Oliver tried to take over..
if Panama becomes insufficient to acquire the island, other countries will definitely help it..
