I was wondering if it is possible to create a private Facebook group that only consists of you in it and no one else in it.
Creating such a group might be great for taking advantage of the files upload feature that Facebook recently turned on for groups, or maybe just to do some basic testing of the groups feature without affecting anyone or revealing what you have done.
Was anyone successful in creating such a group?
You are currently permitted to post up to 63,206 characters on Facebook in a status group or wall post. There is no difference.
In September, we increased the character limit on status updates to 5,000 characters. Today, we're announcing that you can now write posts with more than 60,000 characters. (1)

I set the exact limit to something nerdy. Facebook … Face Boo K … hex(FACE) - K … 64206 - 1000 = 63206 (2)

I haven't tested this, but since the new lists feature, you are able to share your statuses with different groups of people.
When I share something, how do I choose who can see it?
Before you post, look at the audience selector. Use the dropdown menu to choose who you want to share a post with.

Custom (Includes specific groups, friend lists or people you’ve specified to include or exclude)
Taken from this help page.
So,
Now the default visibility for your posts will be Friends without the persons in the above created list (Custom), so they will not see your usual posts.
However, please note that the persons in the respective group will see each other's names if they click on the post's sharing icon.

You can create the group by using the new group link at the sidebar, fill in the name and put the privacy as secret. Before clicking on create, you should add one other friend in to the group and click create.
When you enter your new group, click on the Members tab and remove the friend that you added and you have your own private group.
