All this planning, but no one's addressed some of the most basic questions:
1) Where in the hell are we going to find an unoccupied island that would be cheap enough for us to own, or that could be easily located? Keep in mind that the island would probably have to have some fish or animal that could be hunted for food, and would have to have enough fertile soil to support agriculture.
2) How would we go about paying for all this?
3) Why an island? We'd have much more luck trying to set up this whole society within either the North American or European continents. Plus, we'd be less likely to be invaded by the outside world, since it's very easy to hide in the vast expanses of a continent than it is to hide on an island, since many countries consider it easy to take over an island when they need a new colony or something.
4) Why did this topic even come up in the first place?
