I can't believe this is a legit thing lol. I found out about this in AP US:

http://www.sealandgov.org/about

Sealand is their own country off the coast of the UK with about 27 people living on board. They live on a man made island that used to be a British naval base. Technically, they live too far from the coast to be a part of England so they're their own principality.

Anyhoo, I just thought this was hilarious and somewhat sad though lol. And oh yes, they have gotten into a war before. Apparently there was this German boat that sailed over and tried to overthrow Sealand. It ended with the Sealanders taking them hostage. After that they established a military known as The Knights of Sealand Sovereignty. Oh wait, it gets better.

Apparently on this 'country' with 27 people on board, they have their own currency, their own flag, their own anthem and even their own prince. There's only like 4 bedrooms on the entire island (shared). They make their money by online gambling and selling their I <3 Sealand merchandise. I don't know wether to think this is sad or just downright hilarious lol. I now believe Graal should have Sealand flags in the info section. Who knows? Maybe Sealanders play Graal lmao.

I heard about this aaaaaages ago somewhere.  

Sadly, its not recognized by any nation so its technically just a crowd of people living on an old dock. Also, britain extended their national waters recently so that it's in their territory.  

 

Pirate bay tried to purchase Sealand and so they couldn't be arrested and they can work in peace  

 

hello it is the year 2006 and welcome to the internet i will be your guide
