Now, after creating a proper system for how Geosend will be put together(a topic I will discuss in later episodes of QfG), we needed to know where to put it. Making a magic sky castle floating over the White House just because it would be a massive dick move would be awesome. However, we can't do it with our technology levels. Therefore, it was decided that buying an island would do nicely, no matter the expense.
Our first option thus far is Iglusuaktalialuk Island, which is a Canadian island that is about 20-25 square miles in size, which is probably fine for a small country. Not much is really known about it at this point, and there is no easy way to buy such an island other than negotiations with Canadia.

Our second feasible option is Port Island, which is also a Canadian island in Nova Scotia. This island is a good deal smaller, only about 250 acres, which is probably not good enough for a country. However, it does have a way of buying it legally for only 658 thousand American dollars. The site linked at the end of this paragraph says that two small pieces of land on the island are not for sale, and the owner of said pieces is unknown. Bit weird if you ask me...http://www.vladi-private-islands.de/en/island+buy+port-island+nova-scotia+canada-east-central/
Our third and last good option is Batchawana Island, which is another Canadian island in Ontario. This one is 13 square miles, which is fairly workable for a small nation. It also costs about 16.5 million dollars. That should give you a good idea of how much Iglusuaktalialuk might cost. Batchawana is close to the mainland of both Canadia and the US, but that isn't as big of a problem...right? http://www.vladi-private-islands.de/en/objects/canada-east-central/ontario/sale/batchawana/
Iglusuaktalialuk may actually be the worst name for a landmass ever.
