The tiny island of Coffee
Caye off the coast of Belize has been acquired by a group of investors who
hope to turn it into the world's first crowdfunded micronation: the Principality of Islandia. The
investors paid US$180,000 plus tax for the island in 2019 and are selling
shares in it for $3,250 apiece. So far 89 people have invested in the project. Investors
and visitors to Coffee Caye automatically become citizens of Islandia. Of course one of the first things Islandia's investors/citizens did was adopt a flag:
Patria naturally
extends de facto recognition to Islandia. May your hearts bloom and spirits
soar in Islandia. |
Welcome to Islandia! For a mere $3,250 this could be yours! |
