[–] csense 4y ago ↗ If you know where an island's going to spawn, can you camp that spot in a boat, plant a flag on the island before anyone else, and create your own country? [–] jobigoud 4y ago ↗ I don't think the spot is in international waters. There is also a maritime dispute with Morocco in the area. [–] Arnt 4y ago ↗ Sure. Wear magmaproof boots.If you don't care to wait or are worried about your boots, you could do the same right now. There's a nice large unclaimed antarctic area.
