The easy way

Who's up to make a few billion dollars? All we need is a few square kilometres of land, preferably somewhere remote and inaccessible...like the Andaman Islands for example and declare it to be say ''East Bengalooru'' . Just a short flight away. Once we get there, we build a big - ass fence all around us, a few bunkers and we purchase some fierce looking weaponry from the international arms black market (ala Lord of War). Of course we have broadband there. Now we start sending out emails and issuing press releases that we have a secret uranium enrichment program. We pay Hollywood to make some irreverent & caricature like movies about life in this desolate place as well as on the cruel & despotic leader(s) ruling it. We then allow a major international news network inside the fence to survey some of the hardships citizens in our country face (all in a day's work for the chaps at Universal studios). Throw in some fake missile tests and stories on how much we like our cogniac and voila! We got ourselves a few billion dollars. Anyone interested in pitching this concept to a VC? Or is anyone on a first name basis with the Junta in Myanmar?
