Sealand Put Up For Sale
antic writes "The Principality of Sealand is up for sale. The 550 square meter steel platform boasts "uninterrupted sea views", complete privacy and has been mentioned on Slashdot in the past for its offers of hosting outside the jurisdiction of (some) traditional laws."
Then I could hunt the most dangerous game of all...
It was a joke! When you give me that look it was a joke.
You should know that the commute is a bitch.
1. Buy Sealand on credit, you can get a loan anywhere these days.
2. Apply for your own TLD.
3. Open up for a new domain rush, demand ridicilous prices for certain domains
4. Release the loan using the income from domain sales.
5. You own Sealand, you are king.

Slashdot Burying Stories About Slashdot Media Owned
As long as the new owners don't change the current statutes on Monkey Knife-fighting, I don't see this as a problem.
I also hope they clear up the inconsistencies in the human-bovine marriage laws.
Sounds like it would make a great superhero headquarters.
I believe It's empty right now. Sail up there with a paper knife. occupy the terriroty. Kill all zero people who resist. Declare yourself the revolutionary government.
Of course, the declaration of what makes for statehood is a little arbitrary. So rather than go to the effort, I declare myself King of Antarctica.
Does that mean it will suffer the same fate as Pluto and become a Minor Nation?

Alert Kevin Costner, he may get a chance to film that Waterworld sequel he's been dreaming about
This is exactly why Sealand needs nuclear weapons.
Firstly, if they sold it (instead of just offering tennancy) would they have to call it "New Sealand?" Furthermore, is there a state-sanctioned religion? Do they celebrate festivus? I won't bid unless I get to pin the leader.
Sealand is awesome. It renews my desire to declare myself holy ground to avoid income tax.
bladesjester: the sun do its work
Off the coast of Essex, England, UK? In the North Sea?
I'm guessing you've never been to the east coast of England. It is sunny for approximately half an hour in the afternoon only of the third Wednesday after Pentecost.
A far, far faster method of obtaining fresh water in the North Sea would be to simply open your mouth and tilt your head skywards. It'll fill with fresh rainwater - no desalination required - in about six seconds.

Besides, he could afford to buy an *actual* country.
...the architect's design for the refurbishment is quite nice:

One of my teachers in high school taught us about Sealand because his son was one of the co-founders. Didn't think I'd see it come up on slashdot. Funny story about the country: after it was founded, many of the world's nations extended their borders into sea from (I think about) 5 miles to 10 miles. Sealand viewed this as an aggressive action by the UK since Sealand was now entirely within UK borders and was considered by the British to be UK soil. Sealands response was to extend their borders to 10 miles as well and claim the respective British coastal areas as Sealand soil.
I think that the Piratbyrån should purchase it. I'd donate to the cause. ~j
