That would be possible to arrange in theory. It would take a very big
investment of money and faith but if an island were bought and some real
estate development done there so that those wishing to have esperanto
holidays could all go there, then there would be an island where the
functioning language would be esperanto. It could then gradually develop the
other media, such as its own radio station, newspaper, etc, in Esperanto.
The language is already ready for such developments, it is only because
esperanto started life after the diaspora of esperantists that they do not
exist in the way you describe. The closest thing to an international
community in Esperanto is soc.culture.esperanto.
