Oh shit! Quick, flank 'em /k/.

That actually looks like a neat little shack... Until a hurricane comes barrelling through of course

It's been there for sixty years
/k/ really needs to learn that being at sea doesn't mean instant death in bad weather
When I was 14 I was crazy obsessed with this "country" and desperately wanted to become a citizen. I think you can buy a title of nobility for less than $50.
>>29906221
Didn't mean to imply that you would die instantly, just that it'd be surprising if everything held on.
Do people live on this or has it just been sitting there for 60 years?
>>29906274
People live on it. And it's in the English channel so the swells aren't that bad. Also Google "sealand" you fucking newfag
>Attack in 1978 and the Sealand Rebel Government
>In August 1978, Alexander Achenbach, who describes himself as the Prime Minister of Sealand, hired several German and Dutch mercenaries to spearhead an attack on Sealand while Bates and his wife were in England. They stormed the platform with speedboats, jet skis and helicopters, and took Bates' son Michael hostage. Michael was able to retake Sealand and capture Achenbach and the mercenaries using weapons stashed on the platform. Achenbach, a German lawyer who held a Sealand passport, was charged with treason against Sealand and was held unless he paid DM 75,000 (more than US$35,000 or £23,000). The governments of the Netherlands, Austria and Germany petitioned the British government for his release, but the United Kingdom disavowed his imprisonment, citing the 1968 court decision. Germany then sent a diplomat from its London embassy to Sealand to negotiate for Achenbach's release. Roy Bates relented after several weeks of negotiations and subsequently claimed that the diplomat's visit constituted de facto recognition of Sealand by Germany.
>Following the former's repatriation, Achenbach and Gernot Pütz established a government in exile, sometimes known as the Sealand Rebel Government or Sealandic Rebel Government, in Germany. Achenbach's appointed successor, Johannes Seiger, continues to claim via his website that he is Sealand's legitimate ruling authority.

What happens if the last person on the platform accidentally falls off? How would you climb back up?
>>29908074
>tfw you will never start your own country
>>29908074
>Sealand invaded
>Imprison the mastermind
>Force foreign governments to send a diplomat like a real country
>Claim legitimacy
Smells like a false flag.
But I'd really love to read an account of how the Crown Prince of Sealand singlehandedly routed a platoon of mercenaries and captured the mastermind of the invasion.
>>29908347
>have gun
>point gun at mastermind
>put on a serious face
>make demands
>>29908382
But what about the mercenaries, who had to have numbered at least twenty, with various boats, at least one helicopter, and presumably guns of their own?
Doesn't look like there's much room to maneuver or hide on that thing.
>>29908412
I don't think anyone actually gave enough of a fuck to shoot someone
>>29908430
Obviously not or it would have been mentioned, but I highly doubt this motherfucker spent all this money on a mercenary outfit only to reach Sealand and say "Whoops, this guy's got a gun too. Alright never mind everybody go ahead on out of here I guess I'm a captive!"
>>29908469
They probably just left.
It was literally a game between bored rich people.
>send syrian refugees to sealand
>profit
>>29905958
Me and my men call this here nightmare hall on the count that it proofs to be a down right macabre idea to attempt such act.
>>29909477
Is that why you lose more than to gain
>>29909491
Challange accepted aint that right.
Kinda funny how everyone who lives there still has a British passport because they know it's not a country
>>29906274
>he doesnt know about sealand
dude look it up it has a hilarious history
>>29908482
Now i want to be rich with way too much free time to put up that sort of shenanigans just for shit and giggles.
>>29911066
What is dual citizenship?
>>29912896
Fuck, I always see this reaction image, but I never know what movie is from
>>29905958
If the rumors that it has a DSHK are true I'm not going anywhere near it uninvited.
