Well..I know where I'm moving!! This statement just touched my heart:
"We would like to make it clear that after 32 years of pioneering work, and the blood sweat and tears that have been part of the rich adventure in the formation and establishment of the Principality of Sealand, our web site is the only official web site of the Principality of Sealand. It has come to our attention that others are claiming to represent us on the Internet and in the press, even showing photographs of my family and offering membership of business foundations, fake Sealand passports, and other services. Some of these people, it seems, were involved in the terrorist attack on Sealand in the 1970s that nearly resulted in loss of life, and did involve an international incident with the British, Dutch and German governments."

wait! i have something to say on this topic!
sealand, because it has no laws from any european nations, does a lot of...shall we say...(ian you'll appreciate this)...illegal server storage. You want to host...an illegal website?? sure! they will do it for you! the box will sit on their island (i guess they have a fiber optic cable running to it) and they will host your website. AND if the government of your particular nation tries to shut them down - they are heavily armed.
(take that, MPAA!)
