If you don’t like it, build your own stock market.

You literally can't because of government regulations, although spinning up your own self-hosted community hasn't been regulated yet and is fairly easy.

Just build your own country on an island to run your stock market.

Are there still islands that have not been claimed by a country?

No one is stopping you from building your own island. Stop whining.

Italy does not agree with that.

The problem was that he didn't make his own military to defend the land

Exactly. All you have to do is gather the money to fund it. It's really not that hard, you just have to build your own bank and stock market first.

"yet"

That's like say...found your own country no one will try to stop your or won't let you into the UN

Just build your own UN, buddy.

Everyone's welcome at UN.ru

Is that the one where you can check out but never leave?

> found your own country no one will try to stop your

E.g. Asgardia can be considered a surprisingly successful proto-nation. AFAIK UN actually contacted them and asked to launch a satellite into space (which they can) but that ended up a diplomatic failure.

> or won't let you into the UN

Getting into the UN hardly really means much. There are many nations in the UN nobody cares about. There also are nations not in the UN yet very relevant (e.g. Taiwan which was among the UN founders).

No, it's not.

Crypto space is working on it.
