Not a bad idea. Even better would be to just sell a 20- or 30-year lease on the islands. There is a precedent - back in the 19th century the UK negotiated a 99-year lease on a tiny piece of land in China. The land was handed back peacefully at the end of the lease, with a thriving economy and first-class infrastructure in place. That seems to have worked out quite well for everybody.

I suppose, technically, 'By Right of Conquest' we are in a position to sell, or at least to rent out, most of western Europe (our nearest offshore island). I like this idea.
I no longer wish to own bankrupt banks in order to profit from bailouts, the way forward is selling timeshare states......Austria should fetch a good price for six weeks in the summer.... any takers?
