Micronationalism in action: Patria salutes the Principality of Islandia

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!
