Principality of Sealand, a WWII-era gunnery platform called Roughs Tower, in the North Sea outside Britain’s pre-1968 three nautical mile claim of sovereign waters, is for sale.
Yep, the “land” declared by some as the world’s smallest micronation will go to the highest bidder. Ravage by fire (2006), beset by marauders (1978), and generally ignored by the world’s governments (all time), it’s, well, it is what it is.
And now The Pirate Bay hopes to buy Sealand. Yep, it’s true, and they’ve setup a site to accept donations.

Have you ever read William Gibson’s “Mona Lisa Overdrive”? The novel contains a scenario about an old oil rig which was once used by so called “cowboys” (hackers, crackers, pirates? You name it) to store, serve and share data “legally” because it was placed in international waters.
Very interesting…
If you were to come under siege would any country help. I mean it seems that you would be screwed if someone tried to invade you.
