This principality is one of the most interesting and well run in the world and the Royal house of Balleny is proud to have allowed to become members . We send our gratitude to our Prince

[@desmond-hawkins]

Wow, this is at least the 5th upload about Sealand by 60 Minutes in the past month, someone is clearly a huge fan.

CBS released their April Fools video about three and a half months too early.

It’s amazing how some people will spend a lifetime.

....Trying to be free of overly aggressive Central Planners aka the people that control much of our world. I have thought about this very idea off of the coast of San Diego many times. Makes me think of the country of Prospera near Honduras and also Rose Island (near to Italy)

[@beyond_the_tequila_rift3194]

It's cool to be able to say you are a Citizen of Sealand and Sealander, in all seriousness. Not British, but authentically Sealand. Right? 🤝

Fact! Sealand Royal IPA, as a suggestion for starts! 🍻

[@joshclose1136]

No dentists on Sealand

[@MrLostMD]

i mean the titles are probably way more legit than the scottish lord/lady scam that was running around for awhile, Im rooting for them lol they're almost akin to an perpetual underdog

[@eriklondon2946]

For reals. I would demand that people call me "Duke" and "my Lord" lol.

[@aussiepickernobs2062]

How will they stop this thing from breaking down in the future and just fall over back into the sea.

[@Cheri12345]

Silly 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@gretamecaj-pl3xv]

How many people live there

[@user-xt3xz4ew9n]

[@vickyabramowitz2885]

"Stop the world! I want to get off!" When you are exasperated with the insanity going on in the word, maybe Sealand is a viable option?

[@YuSayinFuqery]

So I can’t be the 1st black citizen of Sealand Mr. Bates? Maybe I can be a diplomat for foreign relations & set up an embassy in a one bedroom apartment here in NYC. How about that?

[@RC-tn3xo]

Friendly tip.... TH-cam comments don't make it to their inbox.

[@YuSayinFuqery]

@@RC-tn3xo guess my diplomatic immunity is all just wishful thinking then😭

[@GamerplayerWT]

The old “Prince” needs dental care.

[@jaykixs]

what are the pros and what are the cons for such a micro country? What is the main ideal?

[@MRLONG758]

Pros: privacy and merch sales, Cons: everything

​​@Tony-eo8zzhosting services, ha. Who's going to pay to run the fiber under water?

[@Pottatow]

Its covering its costs?? So this is just a massive scam that makes crypto look like gold investing?

[@lil----lil]

It's one man's fantasy. That's all there is to it. Silly.

[@whoamyou]

You could argue the U.S started the same way

God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you.

[@Senkawnaowisnebpher]

Don't you feel guilty promoting this so shamelessly?

[@kieranofblackwood7951]

Nonsensical spam.

[@SteveXNYC]

Again with this nonsense

[@give-me-guts-to-accept-truth]

It's totally childish, take them to a nearby hospital first 😢 . I'm feeling pity for them really .
