We need some land first, maybe we could take it with force from someone else because they are lesser than us.
Yeah and well want it to be someplace warm with a nice view.
Yeah, maybe with lots of good natural resources and plenty of space to grow. Then once we are big enough we can tell others what to do outside our own country.
Ideally, we could pretend we are exploring for our respective countries. We can bring with us all of our disease, prejudices and laws just to get started when we find the right place. We can even get our standing armies to help clear a place for us and once the money starts rolling in, we tell them - "Hey, we've had enough of you and your system of taxation!" and well declare independence. Then, we'll tax the heck out of our population of investors... oh wait, if they get wind of that, they'll never invest!
We will just have to keep it on the downlow right now, but then we go all power hungry on them.
