The tourism bit was in jest. I know about the Kola peninsula. (Though I think I first learnt of it in literary class when we had some Russian short story about a boy's holiday titled "On the White Sea" or something, so I originally had a more romantic picture it.)

But what I'm not sure about is how your circle was supposed to close around buying Budapest-nickel-Nickel mines-Kola peninsula; or why PIGL sees peninsulas or islands necessary for closing the circle :-)
