The self-proclaimed sovereign principality of Sealand, built atop a World War II artillery platform in the North Sea, is for sale for the whopping price tag of $977 million.

Its price tag and remote accessibility would make it perfect for a James Bond villain...

...Paddy Roy Bates, who along with his family, occupied the structure in 1967 and proclaimed its sovereign principality, dubbing himself and his wife prince and princess of the island...

A partition in this country would create a strategic problem. It would be so easy to gain intelligence. All you have to do is stare :D

There is an inside rumour that Raaabo is planning to buy this island. He is looking at the valuations, currently. :D

He proposes to establish a dictatorship in Raaaboland, with the official religion being Raaaboism.

The owner of sealand has denied to sell it to piratebay even if they somehow raise the money. They dont want to sell it to anyone who encourages piracy in any way. The owner of sealand is associated with Hollywood industry ,some one is making movie on his book.

I have a feeling that they'll suddenly buy the country and announce it! They don't reveal what they're cooking up until the last minute!
