I propose colonizing Eli Malk island, an uninhabited island part of the Palau island chain of Micronesia. Eli Malk is a densely wooded island located in the middle of a reef. The climate is tropical, with temperatures ranging from 24*C to 34*C annually. Eli Malk is not currently under any environmental protections other then a commercials tuna, shark, and whale ban. There are currently no permanent settlements on this island. Positives: +uninhabited +withing a 1 day boat, canoe ride, or couple hour heli ride to international airport, hospital, US embassy, supply store +lots of natural trees for building +fertile soil +fair amount of rain, can be collected for fresh drinking water +lots of reef, good for fishing +reef surrounds the island, will protect from storm surge or tsunami +can visit the island under the guise of tourists. Can start settlement preparations without committing to live there full time Negatives: -Under the current jurisdiction of Palau. Would have to adhere to any rules or conditions applied to us until we get enough bartering power to do otherwise -Would have to maintain strong environmental protection standards as not to piss off locals or international community -Would have to convince the locals we're not going to fuck shit up. Strong diplomacy is a must -In the path of a typhoon and thunderstorm route (is a good thing for fresh water collection) -Close enough to populated centers that locals and tourists would occasionally pass by (good for trading, source of income) Eil Malk en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eil_MalkPalau en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PalauMap Coords www.google.com/maps/place/7%C2%B009'15.0%22N+134%C2%B021'45.0%22E/@7.1525221,134.3601284,3877m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0 Attachments:

If they havent come for Palau, they won't come for us. |

The island only seems good at not housing anyone though we could do much better in Pitcairn |

As long as you're not drug running, committing acts of terror, or running a terror cell, they won't even bat an eye at you. The Seabees are there to help rebuild in the case of emergency. |

That could be solid grounds to have a state sponsored eviction |

The Seabees are there to help rebuild in the case of emergency. The purpose of a military is to defend the sovereignty of a nation. If we go claiming land in the middle of thier archipelago, that is a direct attack and we are in a vulnerable position. |

Caroline Island? We will die there, it's no place to harvest anything, most of that island is water and it's not drinkable one.
