Where would you build your evil fortress?

Certainly underground, away from prying eyes. More than likely, I'd have it near, but not underneath a major city. After all, major cities have sewage lines, subways, and other things underground that would get in the way of the construction of your fortress.
I would, however, compartmentalize everything, basically taking the same principle of space stations: Every section must be able to be quarantined at a moments notice, to to point of being able to be air-tight, or even purged. After all, you never know if your bio-weapon or genetic engineering research goes awry and you need to liquidate the results.
I would also focus on being self-reliant, in case of fund shortage, as well as reinforcement, including an exceeding amount of redundant supports, and life-support systems. Of course, I'd need to remember to keep whatever competent scientists and henchmen happy. Happy henchmen are loyal and productive henchmen.
Basically, think of a massive underground military base/laboratory, including an underground farm, geo-thermal plant, and water system, with every possible redundancy there. In a way, it'd just be an evil, underground city.
[EDIT]: Really, a good way to try and cover all the bases, pardon the pun, of keeping your base from being destroyed by your arch-nemesis, isn't to think like a villain: Its to think like the hero. What would they do to stop you?

on mt.Olympus considering I will have a god complex by then it,s only fitting I steal Zeus' throne.
I think I'd have to work that like David Xanatos (Gargoyles-stoned by day, warriors by night): a real medieval castle transplanted to the top of my own skyscraper in midtown. Protected by high tech weaponry and supernatural creatures.

It would be a good spot for my secret Illuminati meetings.

actually you don,t freeze in outer space instead the oxygen dissolved in your blood bubbles essentially boiling your self.rhizhim said:
I'd have my evil fortress built in the middle of a highly populated (possibly major) city so that none of my enemies can use nukes, MOAB/Fuel-Air-Bomb, conventional airstrikes or orbital bombardments to destroy my fortress. I'd also have orphanages, schools, hospitals and community outreach centers built around my fortress. For added protection, the public face of my fortress will be the headquarters for medical research and development, communications and computer companies, all occupying the lower and middle floors.
centre of the moon, expand it from the inside out until it's "time".
then blow the paper thin crust off that is left to reveal my moon-sized invasion fortress!
it shall be glorious.

I seriously though you just punched your keyboard to make something up..... I googled it and sure enough it's real.CynicalB said:
For me: Antarctica... the whole blasted thing. Build a whole society there to support my taking over the world.
I'm not out to conquer the world, it's funner watching it run itself. But that's not going to stop me from being an evil mastermind and having an evil lair.
I'm thinking... some relatively secluded mansion on a mountainside in a state such as Arizona, Colorado, or Utah. I do so love the mountain and Desert biomes. Yeah, the United States might be a bit laughable as a choice for an evil Headquarters, but I must say: being in this nation has its perks. Plus, who will suspect the rich investor living in a mansion in the USA? So long as I pay my taxes and use my wealth to meddle in some pointless political affairs from time to time, no one will suspect me more than any other rich person.
As for the rest of it: obviously I'm going to have a secret underground lair. One of the benefits of being on a mountainside is I have room to work. This is a ploy, of course, as I won't actually be building in the mountain. I'll make sure everything's completely under it, so no accidental damages to the mountain can expose my base. Should nosy people (who may for some reason suspect me to have such a lair) do any kind of geological analysis of the mountain, they won't find anything save for a single downward shaft under the mansion which I could pass off as an effort at an attempted well.
Once I'm nestled deep enough in the earth's crust to worry about prying eyes, sign me up for the compulsory mad-science lab, a global command center overseeing a web of automated proxy servers worldwide, an armory of various experimental weapon prototypes, a shielded reactor capable of covertly generating massive amounts of power, and a two-way space teleporter.
I will also have a fully-autonomous space station in an enlarged mimicry of Luna's orbit around the Earth, such that it is always tucked away behind the moon. This will have, among other things, my stock of WMDs. The station will command an array of KillSats designed to look like cell-phone satellites. I will also own a cell-service provider company so that I can get away with having them pull double-duty as cell-phone satellites. That way, I'm getting lucrative amounts of money whenever I'm not wiping something off the face of the Earth. Because I'm not stupid, I will keep the KillSats' weapon systems completely independent of the cell-service systems so no one can hack them with a smartphone and accidentally dial the destruction of their hometown. That would annoy me.
I think that's a pretty decent starter set. As my career of being evil progresses, I will inevitably add to my list of assets. Pacific Island Volcano Base, Haunted European Castle, Seabed Labs on the Australian Shelf, backup house/underground base setup in Florida, the list practically writes itself.

I'd buy Diego Garcia from the British Government, kick the UK and US military forces off and build a giant fortress with a British castle/Japanese castle mixed style with AA gun and missile sites hidden underground with tesla coils to defend from naval assaults. Also bitches in bikinis would swim in the tropical waters while my chief cooked the finest and rarest meats, like panda for example. Also an onsite brewery.
Beneath the Palais des Nations.
No, i dont know why.
i would also have a backup base under a rock... somewhere... in Australia
