It would be little differnt from owning a block of land most or all islands are either the responsibility of a near country or are called a protectorate of a country so even though you owned that "island block" you could not do as you wish.though there is a chance you could have local laws such as a town has but remember who is going to police them.

If you owned an Island I doubt you could make it a country but I don't see why you couldn't make your own laws for your Island.

If you owned an Island, the United States would claim it since its sole occupant is a citizen of the US.

your island would already be in a country and that country would have its laws you must follow
