A Psychedelic Island: Socotra Island, Yemen

The Muslim locals should be easy to subdue and conquer, being that they have never seen an iPad before they will instantly worship our Caucasian magic. After we collect their women and banish the men to tending to our PF cakes, we can begin eating the pure molly we looted from the local Somali pirates, frolic naked on the beach, and drawn emoticons in the sand with our erect penises.
P.S. I've seen these trees behind closed eyeflaps.

Its geographical isolation, similar to New Zealand or Madagascar, has resulted in a ton of exclusive biodiversity.
I just heard of the place today.

"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

Flights to the capital, Sana'a, are relatively cheap (through Royal Jordanian) and on par with flights with Europe. I've read that the entire country of Yemen is densely photographic - given the exotic cultures and traditions compared to Western society. Plus, they chew Khat!
Visas-on-arrival were phased out in 2010, so you have to apply and pay beforehand. Lonelyplanet suggests using a tour guide to facilitate communication with locals, to increase security, and act as trusty map. Regarding terrorists, people are kidnapped and murdered all of the time in the U.S. but when the incentive involves foreign relations, it's likely to receive more media attention - hence our cognitive bias against the real statistics, which aren't as threatening as the stereotype.

They probably just need television, 20 varieties of cold medicine, and extra black thread so they can sew an ample amount of tags that say "made in Yemen."
