The End

Where does the crazy train stop? Well, the red paperclip guy had a house in mind when he started trading. He got his house. But, you can’t do the same gig twice, you know? And there was that kid who traded a cell phone into a Porsche. Kid’s cool … but not his Porsche. So, you want to know the end goal of this whole adventure?

I want my own country.  Yeah … my own country.

Don't laugh. I'm serious. If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I believe impossible things, just like the White Queen. And you know what's so great about impossible things?  It's that they're just that: impossible ... right up until they're not anymore.  You see, impossible is merely a temporary state.

And back to my country ... what’s the first step to owning your own country?  Yep, you got it: buy an island! Here I come Great Hans Lollik!  Situated 1.5 miles off St. Thomas in the U. S. Virgin Islands, Great Hans Lollik is 510 acres of privately-owned island paradise! And it’s for sale … lucky us!

Wait … why do I say “lucky us?” Well, anyone who trades for one of the original staples will receive the inalienable right to come stay with me in my undeveloped island paradise! Included in the deal is the right to honorary citizenship. So, come crash on my couch, or hang your hammock between a couple palm trees. Feel free to stay for a few days and relax on the beach. I’ll probably be out planting hardwood trees, though. Some schmuck had the great idea to log the island in the 1940s and 1950s.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Just because you have your own island doesn't make you a sovereign. Correct. So, I will elaborate with my two-step plan to owning my own country: First succeed, then secede!  Keep it simple, you know?

Backup Plan

We’re practically there. So, welcome to the island!
