    I’ve looked into it, but in the sense of “tiny island in the middle of a freshwater lake where I can become the local cryptid living in a spooky shack.” Does that still count?

      I don’t make the rules, so you’d have to consult whoever does make the rules. I’m not really sure who that is though

      Did you know that Sweden has over 250,000 islands, but only 1,000 are inhabited? Also, anyone can buy land in Sweden regardless of citizenship. I don’t think that comes with a residency visa though.

        Most people who buy entire islands in Sweden are evil as in they are very very rich, don’t give a crap about the local community, and do dumb things like build giant pools depleting the scarce local water supply.

        But if you wanna start a cult just snag a big ole house in the relative boondocks and have it there. Creepy cults in the country are a staple of mid-budget TV action thrillers here, so apparently they’re everywhere.
