I think that I would create a system of succession for after my death. It would suck if I made a prosperous island nation only to have it be destroyed over a power struggle after my demise.
After that, I'm swimming in a pool full of Jello. It's been a lifelong dream of mine.

allow freedom of religion, speech and beliefs. write up a charter of human rights and have 'em etched into stone all around the island. make it mandatory for all citizens to train at least once a week with firearms. institute vocationally oriantated education system and provide goverment subsidies so those who wanted to could further their education in universities abroad. bah, get bored of having all these fucking responsibilites and abdicate, probably just before was set to be assassinated by CIA. Join a band, tour europe playing blues. suck at playing guitar. no fans. become night guard for block of apartments. grow old, unable to distinguish past events from imagination. was I a dictator or was I dreaming? die poor and alone at age of 66.
yep. it was a good run.

No immigration. It's my private island and I don't want other people messing it up. Entry is by invitation only.
After gathering a respectable number of people for my country I would tell the US China and north Korea where trying to make me communist. Due to the wealth of natural resources they wouldn't let that happen and would provide plenty of protection, training and weapons. These would be used to expand my territory. Sure I would be disliked, but not nearly as much as America for backing me. This sort of thing has happened before too, not that exact thing though. Sad huh?
Nah, I'd try to be a benevolent dictator. If I didn't get corrupted I'd get taken over though I'm sure. Also, Hard to rule a country well when you don't keep track of world (or local for that matter) events and just play games as much as you can

Establish a fair dictatorship, but absolutely no: country music, anything off Disney Channel or Nick (except maybe Avatar: The Last Airbender,) Portal referneces. They can play Portal and have Portal parties and have a poster of the companion cube on their wall, but no memes.
First I would make sure to have a mix of immigrants that way to have a good variety.
1. abolish religion it is a useless cling for something greater in the world.
2. focus on technology and space exploration in order to be the first country to have space colonies and mobile suits.
3. I will rule with an iron fist what I say goes unless I am proven entirely wrong.
4. Any major crime like murder, rape, kidnapping, ect. is punishable by execution.
5. Everyone is part of the military everyone fights no exceptions.
6. Mrijuana is legal but is taxed like crazy in order to gain government income.
7. We do not help any other country in the case of a natural disaster, we must focus on our problems we do not have the resources to help other countries.
8. I will have my own personal gaurd of Ninjas that will protect me at all times and are handpicked by me.
9. In the Academy where children go from the age of four to twelve Boys will learn firearms training, hand to hand combat, discipline, human anatomy, and various poisons in which they can use on the battlefield to cripple their opponents.
10. I will have a hand picked unit of soldiers that reports to me and me only and takes only the most dangerous missions that have virtually a 100% death rate. basically a special forces.
11. The girls that go into the Academy will learn the basics that the boys learn but they will be specially trained in Stealth, Assasination, Seduction, and Recon.
12. And Finally My country will not fight any wars against other countries we will be a PMC for other countries use.

Intelligence is class, if you are the greatest mind of the generation, you are part of my council, if you are mentally disabled, you are put to death. Meritocracy, people would gain power through achievements and intelligence. All punishments would be ironic.
I thought it said doctor...
:Make it exclusive (you apply for membership (doesn't cost money or anything)
rivate banks like the Swiss
:Free speech
:Guns are legal (mandatory for every household and have to take gun training/safety course)
riving school dedicated to car control; not parallel parking (like the Fins)
:Free market with limited restrictions
:Welfare but only for 6 months at tops and you have to prove that you can't find a job. (workers who check to make sure you aren't committing fr-oud [sic]
:Nuclear energy to power the island
:A giant racetrack roughly the size of the Nürburgring (smaller tracks inside and around it, basically humongous motorsports complex
:Some drugs are legal
:No medical funding for diseases (all is poured into nanotechnology)
:Have a rather large cabinet of advisers
ecent military force with main focus on air and naval forces. (maybe conscription like IDF or the Swiss.
:Become friends with Russia, USA, Europe and China
:Lottery money actually goes into schools and not to earmarked things
:Lots of NASA type things and advances in science due to large funding to such things
etc for the other things that are missing.
Edit: I forgot to mention RON PAUL flies around in a blimp

How much money do I have to start up?
I'd probably try to set up a very lax society. Try to get well educated people who want to come to live in a low pressure environment/tropical paradise.
In that thread, I'd start clearing small portions of the island for bits of farmland, enough to support maybe half the population (or maybe 3/4 along with local fishing or something.) Set up some small useful industries, like brickworks and maybe a small cement plant. Designate a small central settlement set up similar to Spanish colonial style buildings. Try to get at least a niche tourism industry.
If there are other island nations around (like if it's on an island arc or something,) then team up with them and have some sustainable trade and fully open borders agreements with them, just to make people's lives more interesting. Bring in some moderately skilled people, maybe from the developing world, to try to get small local industry in to produce a lot of basic goods and some more luxury items. Generally, as self-sustainable as possible, and laid back as possible. Laid back-ness will be my selling point, just try to get a wide variety of different people. Try to keep farming as small as possible, encourage lots of rooftop gardens (or mandate them.)

Death to all murderers, rapists/molesters, DUI accidental manslaughterers..erers, anything resulting in wrongful death. Of course, every crime has to be proven with ACTUAL evidence, trials will begin the day after being charged with a crime and take NO LONGER THAN ONE WEEK, those who are proved innocent will be closely monitored with a GPS chip and video surveillance(not hard on a small island)
Those sentenced to the death penalty shall be thrown into a cage in the center of town(as an example) with other criminals, closely guarded by armed soldiers, and will remain in the cage until they die of thirst or dismemberment by other prisoners. Anyone trying to give food/water to the death row will be put into the cage as well. AND THE KEYS TO THE CAGE WILL BE IN MY POSSESSION AT ALL TIMES, along with a trusted advisor or two.
Petty crimes such as theft/battery will result in a 6 month prison sentence where they will make clothes for the island's school uniforms. Anyone with more than 3 petty crimes will be put in the cage.
Now that that's over with, I would set up socialistic government(with the exception of me heading it) where I shall appoint highly praised economists,scientists, foreign relations, military advisors, architects, and human rights activists to assure everything runs smoothly.
No religion, religion only slows progress..
The national anthem will be nothing but bagpipes.
Those producing massive beneficial attributes to the nation will be rewarded a double salary, and a platinum medal.
And I shall install a crew of men sharing my same beliefs and views of people, and send them to wander about the island with cattle prods, and all those being a nuisance/menace/unruly will be zapped. Twice if necessary. BUT NOT THREE TIMES... that would be cruel... Clock resets after 10 minutes..
And my nation shall be called, The Land of Bastards.

7) Go from there.

Assuming good conditions:
Use my (assumed) immense wealth to build large, clean, modern places for people to live. Invite people from all nationsa around the world to live there.
Rules:
Basic constitution of rights
Some laws I will pick from other nations
My main changes to law:
Benefits system -
- People will be given jobs if they cannot find one after 3 months. They do have choice in these jobs however must do A job, wether government chosen or personally chosen. (health/situation permitting)
- No spending stupid amounts of money on pointless things i.e new lampost designs
- "common sense" laws, i.e 'my coffe spilt and burned me as it was too hot and I wasn't warned about that', bullshit, go get some freaking common sense. Basically a cleaner law system thats much harder for people to abuse.
Oh, and declare myself part of the British Empire.

Get the entire island rigged to explode and then use it as my own personal island harem.
After about fifteen to twenty years of being sexed up by the hottest women my economy could buy (judging by the population my gross national product would be lesbian porn) I would go into a deep resentful depression brought about by the realisation of my shallow existence.
Then I would create a tax haven for all corporate bankers, politicians and company executives with the promise of every depravity catered for and when they have all arrived blow the fucker to smithereens.
