'Smallest state' seeks new owners

Access to the platform is by helicopter or boat
The owners of the world's "smallest state" - Sealand - have put the quasi-country up for sale.
The former anti-aircraft platform, seven miles off the Essex coast, was taken over 40 years ago by retired Army major Paddy Roy Bates.

The so-called "independent state" of Sealand is currently home to an internet firm.

The platform, built by Britain during World War II, now has its own flag, passports, currency and stamps.

The article goes on to say that the 'micronation' is used to host websites. I also heard a rumour that it hosts heavily illegal websites...

You couldn't be Queen of Dracula's castle although I think the atmosphere might suit your darker side...

If that is true...I pity the fool who ever pays the asking price.

And risk the wrath of the league of micronations who will send the tiniest allied army to fight in their collective name?

You know you have a poor micronation when the name of your micronation is actually painted on the side of it
