You know, one of the smaller ones. I'd like to start my own country.

Sorry, no 8((( The island of Niihau is privately owned, but doubt if the owners would sell. Instead of making millions by setting up a resort, they choose to let Hawaiians (the last place with a lot of pure Hawaiians) raise cattle and sheep. The other islands are owned by the State. Tell you what though, we'd gladly sell you a few of Teri's originals to decorate your island when you do get it ;)))
