How would I go forth if I wanted to make my own country? My own state, my very own nation. What money would I need? Which means would be necessary, and who's ass would I have to kiss?

How much of Antartica is already claimed? Couldn't you buy some land and make it independend? I really don't know if you can get an own state this way. Wait, I think there is a way, you search for a spot in international waters (five nautical miles from the coast or so) and dumb an enormous amount of earth in it until an island piles up. You could then claim it as your land. I think that also works with artificial islands (like oil drilling platforms, but it may be that things like that do not count) or you wait until an underwater vulcano creates a new island. Alternatively, you could go into some African territories where different tribes/states fight over land, you just have to gain control of it and hold it. Perhaps you can get acknowledged as an independent state.

Well, cheapest island I found costs 94.000 US$... I like mine idea better, if you actually make an island in the middle of international waters it should be yours.
