Barbuda has been left completely devastated by Hurricane Irma. An estimated 95% of Barbuda’s structures are damaged, and the entire island of around 1,800 people has been evacuated.
“The damage is complete,” says Ambassador Ronald Sanders, who has served as Antigua and Barbuda’s ambassador to the U.S. since 2015. “For the first time in 300 years, there’s not a single living person on the island of Barbuda - a civilization that has existed on that island for over 300 years has now been extinguished.”

Hmmm ... sounds like the perfect opportunity for one of the world's giant corporations to take over the island and turn it into a sovereign territory subject to no one's taxation or regulation:

Whaddya say Jeff, Mark, Elon, etc. - are you up to the challenge? Just think of all the taxes and other responsibilities you can avoid by forming your own country.
