Seems like four guys with a fishing trawler, a grappling hook, a musket, and a can of beans could take it over. If these kids want to play like they're a full-fledged country, treat them like one. They're laying claim to British national waters...them's fightin' words. Might be a good place to "test" a JDAM.

Reading the article makes me laugh. It reminds me of stuff we did in Elementary school; "This pack of desks is mine! You need my permission to get in! We have our own currency and passports! Go away!"

Theres actually several places like that around the world, all usually a square mile or smaller... whatever makes them happy.

Its a Platform.........
Ok 3 F-18s from the RAAF on "exchange" with the RAF, a couple of bunker busters and some popcorn and sunnies AND a fishing boat. And this would be an interesting war ROFL

Is it a floating platform or is it actually built in the shallows? I'm always curious about how these things are built.

this, my friends, is why the bish alway lose.

I will up you one.
A bag of rotten apples, a rowboat and a wooden mallet is all I need to destroy and take over this country.

I love these things too. Without googeling it i think it was a flak base the warm-beer-drinkers used during ww2 and they sit on the bottom. Not floaters.

Read the link!
It was a floating platform that was sunk to make a stationary platform.

Might as well take the off shore drilling platforms that the oil companies abadoned and turn them into new micro nations in the Gulf of Mexico and other shallow ares in the world. With several stories of steel, they would be the Mega Cities of the micro nations.

If Roy Bates is the leader of "Sealand", would he be addressed as Master?

The thing I've always wondered is, even without going to war, there are several ways to "get rid" of them being such pains and they all involve giving them what they want...so why not? Revoke their passports into the other countries and let them starve to death. Apparently they all go shopping in southern Britain, but when they go home they're a "standalone nation." :lol
Also makes me curious as to why none of the nutters have "taken over" their house and declared it a micronation. :headscratch: At least none I've seen.

No UN country recognizes it as a sovereign nation, including the UK. So it you were to declare on and attack it, you would be declaring war on the UK, which recognizes it as part of its territory.
