for real though.. I wanna look into this more. Is it's soul purpose just to be anchored out there

looking pathetic so the owners can claim soveriegnty?  that article said that technically it's part of

britain I think. If that's all it is it seems like a waste of effort.. There must be like 10 methlabs or

some kind of super drug in there to make it a worthwile endeavor.  :|

Great Britain built it illegally during WWII, they built a few of these things, not entirely sure why this is still standing when the others were demolished.

Doesn't really make sense to run there, you need supplies from the mainland and if it's blown to shit you're fucked anyway.

 

I'd rather live in Sealab :catlol

I read more on the article you posted. So the guy responsible for Sealands independance is a guy that used to

use a closer to shore bunker like the one in question to host a radio station that was exempt from the U.K.s

strict broadcasting laws since the BBC has sort of a complete monoploly over shit..it caught on with the

public and became known as 'pirate radio' so the uk decided to take him to court and shut him down.

 

So he then got with his lawers and moved to the current tower that's too far out for the U.K. to claim as territoy,

 

and did all the legal work to ensure he couldn't be fucked with again. Pretty cool story..

Dude sounds like a crackpot.  I mean, he and his son were shooting at people from the platform.  It's like the fucking Ozarks in the middle of the North Sea.

The british armed forces blew up all the bunkers around them, and dispatched ships with armed crew in a

show of force before he fired warning shots though according to the article there... I might do the same thing.

No they abandoned it some guy in the 60s had a pirate radio station in one of the neighboring fortress

But they introduced new air way laws forcing him to move it to Rough Tower

Because it was in international waters

So they couldn't touch him

And created his own nation after moving there

Which after a standoff with British military went to court

And the justice ruled it it's own country there for had its legal rights to the sea fort

I'd like to live to the gay and lesbian kingdom of the Coral sea Islands

 

 

except it doesn't actually exist, it's a sand bar with some algae on it that was only declared a seperate nation because a rich gay guy was pissed off at the Australian government for their homophobia and decided to buy an island then make it secede from Australia as a form of protest

Gay island nations aren't born.  They may choose to identify as gay island nations, but they'll always just be sand barges with some algae.
