Original Note:
Sealand is an *unrecognized sovereignty* in British waters, seven miles off the coast of Suffolk. It started as a World War II fort. In 1967, Paddy Roy Bates, a retired British army major, declared himself ruler of the country. His family has been running it ever since. https://sealandgov.org/en-us https://www.historydefined.net/sealand/
