Let's talk Sealand and other offshore constructions.

I'm no engineering expert, which is why I'm asking you guys this. If someone were to somehow acquire an offshore structure such as an oil rig, would it be possible to expand off of it? How would this be done? At what point would support struts be needed to hold up any extra land?

But it doesn't need to be in the midst of the ocean.

One of the attempted micronations (if this is what we're talking about) was set on a WWII construction along the river Thames.

The answer to anything about building things is, "Yes but it would be expensive"
