Floating countries on the stockmarket would certainly ensure that a country's best financial interests were upheld when it came to policy decisions as they would be made by all the important people (those willing to actually invest in the country and hence actually care about it (I've never liked democracy much ;))) Alternatively i suppose this would mean that some evil mastermind could buy a country and send it straight to oblivion, turn it into a large prison, or just turn it into a nice muddy mosaic.. Antartica all the way!
