Government, land owners if you end up on a claimed island

>>3331802
satellites have ensured that every piece of land including islands are owned by somebody, whether they are privately owned or otherwise
you would eventually be forced to leave or shot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minerva_Reefs#Republic_of_Minerva
The Republic of Minerva was a micronation consisting of the Minerva Reefs. It was one of the few modern attempts at creating a sovereign micronation on the reclaimed land of an artificial island in 1972.
They anticipated a libertarian society with "no taxation, welfare, subsidies, or any form of economic interventionism." In addition to tourism and fishing, the economy of the new nation would include light industry and other commerce.
The Republic of Minerva issued a declaration of independence on 19 January 1972 in letters to neighboring countries
The declaration of independence, however, was greeted with great suspicion by other countries in the area. A conference of the neighboring states (Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji, Nauru, Samoa, and territory of Cook Islands) met on 24 February 1972 at which Tonga made a claim over the Minerva Reefs and the rest of the states recognized its claim.
On 15 June 1972, the following proclamation was published in a Tongan government gazette:
PROCLAMATION His Majesty King Taufaʻahau Tupou IV in Council DOES HEREBY PROCLAIM: it is expedient that we should now confirm the rights of the Kingdom of Tonga to these islands; THEREFORE we do hereby AFFIRM and PROCLAIM that the islands are part of our Kingdom of Tonga.
A Tongan expedition was sent to enforce the claim the following day. The Flag of the Tonga was raised
Tongan occupation
Tonga’s claim was recognized by the South Pacific Forum
In 1982, a group of Americans led again by Morris C. “Bud” Davis tried to occupy the reefs, but were forced off by Tongan troops after three weeks

And if you don't, you will die within a few days on the island.

This is my island OP

As others have said, even if you built proper infrastructure to survive by the time you have anything decent the nearest government will say get the fuck off our land this belongs to us now.

I too love to daydream about the private island life.

Bunch of FUD spreading faggots in this thread OP. Nothing is stopping you. Very few people have the balls to try this so The Man isn't actively concerned about it and there's absolutely a solid chance you could make it work. You better fucking do it

Ive never been on the open ocean before. only got a canoe. Is a canoe technically safer than a boat because it cant really sink? not sure how I would sleep though

>>3331802
Just going to buy one some time in my life. Don't see why people blow millions on over priced houses and cars when you can do something like buy a really nice plot of land (an island in this case) and just build the house you want. Fuck buying houses

do it, OP
