That's bad ass on so many levels. I can't believe that there are actually 10 people living on their own country called "Sealand". How do they get food? Fishing?

More on the country on wiki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealand

Funny how they call themselves a country but when in trouble they quickly call their neighbors.  :P

Wait- don't all countries do that?   ;)

I'm so intrigued by this I can't stop reading. How can there have been a coup when there are only 10 citizens to the entire country? This is  good stuff. Anyone up for starting a country?  :)

OW.net -- the Country.  That would be completely awesome.  My only request is that we get DP to do our coat of arms.  Oh, and I get to be poet laureate.

Well, since we are claiming our titles, I shall be Marshall of Arms. There's only one real hurdle to this whole country thing, though- acquiring an island.

Yea well not when there is a simple electrical fire. Then again a simple electrical fire in Sealand means 1/3rd of the country in trouble.

I think the only issue will be that the country of OW will be a real sausage factory.

In October 1965 Roy Bates gained control of HM Fort Knock John after winning a physical fight with squatters representing the offshore station called Radio City. He wished to use it for radio broadcasting to the UK mainland.

Badass.


Anyway, Dibs on Minister of Booze, Women and Firearms.

The thing is, no restaurant can possibly deliver in thirty minutes or less, so...

Only 10 people live on Sealand anyway, I'm pretty sure enough of us could volunteer to take it for ourselves.

I think that they have a massive AA gun onboard. Taking it by force would be difficult.
