Could I invite other 2999 people to live in a town-counrty independently? Have I the right as a human?

Of course anyone has the right to attempt to do so, but unless you've got more than Bill Gates' net worth, you're not going to buy yourself a country.





The island answer is only half-correct. Every existing island is already claimed by some country, so taking it over and declaring independence is tantamount to a declaration of war against the country that owns it.





Your best bet would actually be to try to BUILD an island on a coral atoll in international waters. Although, if you did, you might want not to issue a declaration of independence unless you either have a country with an army that will both ally itself with you and recognize your sovereignty, or your own army to fight off any other countries that might want to annex you (happened to the Republic of Minerva in the 70s). Either way, not really realistic unless you've got at least twenty million bucks to spend on this project.





Then again, you could try to start a commune - plenty of those sprung up in the 60s. Unfortunately, you'd still be subject to the laws of wherever you found it, and would have to pay applicable property taxes, etc.

Sure, if you buy a private island.
