Interesting concept. I think it's been tried before though with a predictably poor outcome.

If these Swedes pull this off on Sealand, watch the RIAA, MPAA and their British equivalents hire Blackwell Security type of outfit to raid and conquer the country.

I can imagine these guys hacking something from Bill Gates, and claiming sovereignty and free from copyright laws.

Then I can picture Gates getting ticked off, hiring some mercs, for some "heads of state" elimination.

Better yet, Gates buys his own sovereign island, and his island goes to war with Sealand. And to the victor the spoils.

I wonder if they plan on applying for membership in the UN, and if they'll play by UN rules? Yeah right, no oen else plays by UN rules.

Maybe they'll attack the United States and declare war on us. Does anyone remember The Mouse That Roared?

The sovereign nation of Sealand. Wonder what happens when a murder is committed in there.

A firm of Spanish estate agents has valued the island at £504 million

Over a billion dollars?!? Good luck trying to raise that.

I can see this being made into a Movie, what a great story of Sealand.

Buying Sealand is God's way of telling you you've read too many Neal Stephenson books. (Or is it God's way of telling you you haven't read *enough* Neal Stephenson books...)
