Thank you, Gizmodo.

It's not even an island, it's a micronation (meaning an unrecognized small peice of land/property that is considered a "country" by a small group of people).

Pretty much It won't unless millions of torrent users fork over money to pay for it.

Havent read the article but I'm assuming it's that lil playform with the crack shack on it, that some guy made his own country during one of the wars (just saw it on the news few days ago) his asking price was pretty high

That's incredibly awesome. Sealand, though hideous, is amazing. You can buy a royal title.

The people on the forums are all debating about how to run the economy and import/export business. Sad thing is they probably haven't seen a picture of Sealand yet -.-
