How many of their inhabitants have citizenship in other countries do you think? Last I checked you cannot stop a citizen from entering their own country. So I suspect the impact on supply of goods would be close to, if not zero.
It is private property the government cannot evict them even if it was a part of Britain. Since it's a sovereign nation the British cannot just invade it, that would be an act of war.
The ability to blow another country to bits does not give you automatic rights to it. I'm sure other Western Governments wouldn't look to kindly at the total annihilation of a defenceless micro nation, by one of their allies.

I would have been zoomed out while panning so yes, I would have done considerably better.
The last thing shell want is some endangered species around their site.
Someone please shoot the asshole controlling the camera!
yes, the MPAA is always talking about how easy piracy is. We should sue them.
Sorry I'm out of mod points.
I think we should not be asking who he will chose yet, but rather how large of a priority is he going to make this.
Shouldn't the interests of Hollywood be #1?
Or does Obama actually support change?
If these industry assholes would have got on the bus in 97, they may have a viable option now.
Afraid that ship has sailed, now piracy has filled the gap in the market place.
I want them to switch my auto responder on.
Might as well piss off a few people on the way out.
Check the design before you buy, or when you need it most you may find it was lacking.
But if your dead you won't care.
Facebook should introduce a "Dead" status.
Who really gives a shit?
You, apparently.
How about those of us outside the US who have our phone calls monitored by the US government?
Makes me think twice about doing business with America.
What is "Horse Hockery" supposed to imply?
If they claim to be independent then they ARE independent, that's really all there is to it.
We have already established that they are not under British jurisdiction, so unless somebody else makes a claim to it they are a sovereign nation.
Are you kidding? We berate ALL politicians here - why does Obama get a pass?
Obama is black, to berate him would bring on the accusations of racism.
To me justice served would be a public website posting daily updates of these employees phone records for several years to come.
Sealand is recognised by Britain as a sovereign nation.
If it is not a sovereign nation then who does it belong to?
It used to be apart of Britain so I would be very interested to know who else could possibly have a claim to it, other than it's rightful owners.

I can imagine naval destroyers with RIAA printed on the side.
So piracy is to blame! What ever happened to Sea lands "navy"?
True but if you only pay 8.95 for them instead of $100k
Not to mention, in hospitals it may be a hygiene issue.
Imagine, your lawn mower runs over your pet out of jealousy.
However that asshole with the scissors is not.
