Wanna buy a Greecian Island?

Looks like Greece may be selling off "it's country" for the right price..

Now Greece is making it easier for the rich and famous to fulfill their dreams by preparing to sell, or offering long-term leases on, some of its 6,000 sunkissed islands in a desperate attempt to repay its mountainous debts.
 And some of the prices aren't as high as i thought they'd be...
The sale of an island – or convincing a member of the international jet-set to take on a long-term lease – would help to boost its coffers. The Private Islands website lists 1,235-acre Nafsika, in the Ionian sea, on sale by private interests for €15m. But others are on offer by private owners for less than €2m – less than a townhouse in Mayfair or Chelsea. Some of the country's numerous islands are tiny which could barely fit a single sunbed.
Hmm... less than 2 million euros to own part of the European continent?   Hm... think I could make it my own country once I bought it?     Anybody want to help chip in?  :)
