electricity - maximum positive electric charge of solid body


What are the limiting factors on the positive charge of a solid body? If I assume a 'perfect insulator' environment that would not exchange charge with my solid body, I would guess that I can remove electrons from the body until it's internal chemical bond structure made by them breaks down and the body disintegrates. Are there any other other limits that would be hit first? How to calculate the charge at which the body breaks away?
