    Invade this island and liberate its people.

    No one will be there against their will... FREE dinghys for all

    All right then. I change my suggestion to avoid this island, at all costs. The people who would choose to live there must be minus craic


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,355 ✭✭✭gallag


    Will you be addressed as glorious leader or king? Also, where do you stand on prostitution and gambling?

    i'd prefer to be called Island Supervisor...i'm not the centre-of-attention type

    Even like penicillin and caffeine and alcohol and a paracetemol?

    Can people keep exotic pets? And will there be any laws or regulations regarding masterbation?

    What about Danish Gold?

    Why would you use the rules of one sh*thole to govern another. If you like the Irish laws so much and don't want to be supreme leader whats the point of you having your own island???


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭Crooked Jack


    What if at some point after the island's creation Ireland relaxes its law on, say, cannabis?

    So the more damaging and addictive alcohol is allowed but no weed? Can this be appealed?

    Only rules on masturbation are that you spell it correctly and don't do it in public.
    Exotic pets needed to be approved by peers due to possible infestation

    I see you're curious now ;-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,506 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Democracy for some

    Miniature Irish flags for others

    Will there be a dole office next the airport?



    ... in fact will there be an airport?

    No dole office there. No dole for first 6 months of inhabitation. Support yourself

    Will indeed be an airport. intending to use an island between US and ireland to take advantage of emergency landings and the LARGE fees we can charge for them ;-)

    Will there be free crutches?

    I was curious but no weed or public masturbation is kinda a deal breaker :-(

    So, in my imagination, I am purchasing an Island and inviting people to create a community there. What rules would you make??
    Some of mine are:
    All children from birth (and new inhabitants) to be fingerprinted, have DNA taken and wear a microchipped piece of unremoveable jewellery. Hoping this reduces/eliminates crime

    If we do have crime, then the death penalty exists and pickpockets and thieves lose a finger per crime. Three fingers lost means expulsion from the island

    Bankers salaries are capped and nurses must earn a higher average wage than them.

    No religion on the island.

    Unemployed people must do 40 hours per week of community service until such time as they become employed.

    Mandatory random drug tests. People caught must leave the island.

    No Liverpool supporters.

    Any more suggestions welcome!!

    Get rid of the rule-makers they're obsessed with Crime.

    not really big enough and how do we grow food?
    Not even big enough for the supply of dinghys i will need :-S


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,355 ✭✭✭gallag


    I just worry that you are not committed to being a dictator, you seem a bit namby pamby, even Gaddafi who is not even in my top five despot dictator list promoted himself to colonel. Free dinghies? Free health care? Benefits? Next you will be saying women will have equal rights. I like the forced amputation for thieves but every dictator is at that, you need to stand out, mabey publicly stoning any woman who gets accused of witch craft? It can be your signature move. I dont want to join up only to have north Koreans looking down at me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 655 ✭✭✭hyperborean


    Will you have sky?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,355 ✭✭✭gallag


    Will you have sky?
    Or a nuclear program? Obviously for clean energy lol

    I'm gonna have to think about this. I thought my control of the birthrate could be my signature but clearly it doesnt impress you.

    yes, we will have sky. And i'm guessing we could watch the saturday 3pm kickoffs on it due to the distance


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,496 ✭✭✭Boombastic


    Anyone who makes too many rules will be ejected from my island


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Rasheed


    What sport will be on the island?

    You're tempting me with paying me more money but I'm not convinced.

    Pssshhh, sure the jews have been doing forced birth control for ages, I appreciate the 3pm kickoffs but should the people not be working?

    I'm thinking you work alternate weekends so services are always available but people have a decent social life.

    Sports on the island. Well, beach volleyeball football, rugby and shooting. the shooting will be for defensive and olympic medal purposes, therefore must be amateur

    No caravans allowed on my island- they actually enforce this in Jersey CI:)


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Come to my island. I allow everything the OP's one doesn't. Plus there's cake. And small miniature flags.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,389 ✭✭✭mattjack

    Can you expand on your fiscal/forign policy? Perhaps employ the n.Korea policy of threatening nuclear attack for concessions?


  • Registered Users Posts: 113 ✭✭puppieperson


    no fat people / no ugly people or those with room temperature IQ's

    I'm going to use small doors in all hospitals and doctors surgeries so if you cant fit in, you dont get treatment. think i should do the same for fast food places??

    I will limit the number of working holiday visas. Tourists can have a 7 day visa, dependent on them wearing the trackers. Can't have any illegals. We won't be in the EU so that should keep out most undesirables

    And when you have miscarriages of justice??? They happen in every system!

    So you make it harder for criminals to find honest work by maiming them??

    Stupid island.
    I assume all laws will be obeyed and all other countries will respect ours.
    No murder no rape no violence...no war....no weapons..no discrimination .against genders races gays or transgendered people.... no stealing...no scamming...no drugs..no white collar crime..no child abuse...
    NO JUNK FOOD..

    You must be a nice decent person to be a citizen.....we are awfully sorry if you are nasty or unpleasant or evil...you would not like it here anyway :-)

    So if you commit a crime...you lose citizenship and must leave


    Sublte and discreet prostitution is allowed but not on streets



    NO LITTERING

    It has to look nice and aesthetically beautiful......that's it..


    No preaching of religion to anyone under 18....and no tax exemptions for religious organizations.

    Zero corporate tax rate.

    You have some good ideas but plz don't call the island stupid. Its amazing!!

    No littering AND no chewing gum as per singapore
    Free bins should help. We will use the rubbish to reclaim land and make the island bigger.

    Use the unemployed to keep the place looking good. No jobs to be posted or interviews held before 4pm on weekdays so the unemployed arent at a disadvantage

    Prostitution as per Australia. you see it only if you are looking for it

    You seem to believe crime exists due to lack of surveillance. There's many exceptions (sexual crimes etc.) but in my opinion, crime generally exists because of poverty and poor education (I think poor parenting would fall into that category).

    You'd have a much happier society if you tried to prevent crime in the first place.




    (Your island sounds like minus craic btw)
