Sealand - The World's Smallest Nation?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มี.ค. 2016
- Just off the coast of England in the middle of the North Sea stands an abandoned World War II era fort. That fort is now the home to the Principality of Sealand (not to be confused with Seaworld), one of the most famous and fascinating MicroNations in the World.
This video condenses over fifty years of history into five minutes, telling the adventurous story of Paddy Roy Bates and his ambitious attempt at nation building.
This is just one of the world's many MicroNations, so be sure to subscribe to learn about the rest!
Thanks for watching!

No world army can defeat the great Sealand...
Because no one can find it on the map

Smart
No country would bother to invade it anyway because they think it's an abandoned oil rig.

Artificial structures can’t gain sovereignty
Note to self: if i ever found a country recognize sealand.

Find an abandoned naval base of some sorts, boom, claimed
I'd been reading about Sealand but this video still taught me a few things. I had no idea about the whole Versace thing. Nice work, keep it up.
Nice video!

Hi Wendover
True! ❤❤👋👋
Whoa HE Reckonises you. THIS IS A BIG BLOODY DEAL
As a recovering micronationalist, I must say that this is a really good video!
+MicroNation It was a relatively insignificant simulationist micronation called "new-empire", (I got pulled into the hobby by the whole Lovely - Danny Wallace thing) later joined and became president of a union called CIS. We were mostly focused around the simulationist mapping society of MCS, which I was at one point the technical admin for, and at one point the head cartographer.
Also ran a website called "MN forum list" which listed a tonne of micronations, measured their activity, etc etc.
I got addicted far too much to the hobby.

Sorry, is of type mistake
This should be a Michael bay movie
I would actually like to watch some german mercenaries attacking an old ww2 era fort, and the inhabitants defending with firearms. Then later in the film the mercs attack again and the one person on the fort takes them all hostage. That would be fucking awesome
Wait, mercenaries from my country actually fought against Sealand, after the second world war? What the hell?
the only countries that recognize Sealand are other micronations. Sealand is our hero, as they are the closest by far to ever being a proper country
Yes. I used to recognize another micronation and then I annexed that country

A country need to recognize Sealand.

Lorenzoland is primarily situated on one of Jupiters moons but is run out of a private home in LA. You can acquire citizenship without living there though.

Really good video! I'm excited about what's going to be next MicroNation :)
Sealand:
Armies:1 people
Navy:1
Gun:1
Aircraft:0
Flag:1
Countruy Size:0:01 mm
27 People
Country Size:0.08km
When the UK extended sea limits from 3 to 12 miles Sealand became an enclave of the UK.
luca ioan that means that the UK can technically close its borders and therefore stop ceiling or anyone from that so-called Nation from entering any other nation. And they could essentially starve them out
They can eat fish

Sea Land : BUT I HAVE A BIG HEART!!
AND A CHARACTER IN HETALIA
When you mentioned DJ/Radio-pirates at first, I thought it would be some kind of joke regarding the the actual conflicts, but the history of Sealand has seemed quite violent. Have DJ-pirates been a legitimate issue back in the day?

By the way, here is something you should ponder: How can countries stay as countries?
As you can see, Sealand is a place where the only residents are the royal family; quite a lonely place for a monarch, his wife, and his children. They are the only people that are able to have shelter; shelter is a hyperluxurious item equivalent to the Buckingham Palace in the UK. All visitors and commoners must sleep outside, regardless of the weather. Only the rich people get to bring tents. Also, the only building (the royal palace) is very weak as it doesn't have a foundation as it is very hard to dig through metal, and most foundations of buildings are made out of concrete. Therefore, one big wave could wash away the royal family into the North Sea. There are no guard rails, so tourists can fall to their death if they are not careful. Finally, the most important thing: How do the royal family get their food? As you can see, there is no soil to grow fruits or vegetables, and barely any space to raise livestock, so the only food the Sealanders can eat is fish, and they can only obtain plant-based calories from seaweed. Since the UN (and other countries) don't recognize Sealand, I doubt there will be constant food supply every month, and it is a very tough place for container ships to dock and unload resources for people to use. Therefore, if the country doesn't expand or create the food machine from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the people could eventually starve to death (as the aquatic resources will eventually dry out over time). Expansion of Sealand is basically equivalent to a real-life Hero Wars game: the prince must conquer the weak and uninhabited islands first to gather resources and military personnel, each uninhabited island adds a little bit to the overall power as it climbs the pyramid and then it can start invading real countries. The small countries fall first; the big countries stay standing longer. However, one blunder from a (slightly) more powerful country could mean the end of Sealand. However, this Hero Wars game is not easy; Sealand is boxed between several powerful countries that could eliminate them with only 1 bomb and 1 match.
Only hetalians and people who live on sealand know about sealand.
Yes
;)
Sadly true
GO SEALAND! YOU'RE THE BEST!

Off the south east coast somewhere
I think I need coordinates.
Is anyone gonna talk about how fucking badass these people are?
It's the only word you can use to describe them.
Also It's amazing that they don't deny they have an armory they just don't discuss it.
Wow, great video! I thought I knew everything about Sealand but I didn't know it was founded by a radio DJ! I thought it was founded by separatists from the UK.
Amazing video! Can't wait till the next one

the fact that 2 powerful countries couldn't defeat Sealand, plus its amazing, packed history. If I was the leader of any country I would recognise it 100%.

Theoretically, a country should be defined as having: a permanent population, clearly defined borders/land, and being able to run it's own affairs independently to that of other countries (i.e. able to defend it's territory from other nations and is not completely dependent on another nation to survive). Take the case of the post-Soviet "freeze zones". These were regions that were run independently, had a permanent population, and had a military or way of defending it's territory. The nation's that they were originally a part of were never able to retake these freeze zones.
Sealand is my favorite Micronation
Damn Man.Sealand Is Fookin Lit Bois.
I thought you meant Zeeland in the Netherlands(zee=sea)
Also sealand is a country while England is a city, so...

i'm seriously making a secret country
should i take land, or should i have no land like SMO Of Malta (Sovereign Millitary Order)
SMO is more of a private millatary company than a country.
Take land from the islands in Africa. That way you don't have to worry about big countries like the US.
Im gonna colonize north korea and change north korea to my own country
There are unclaimed lands on Earth still, including about 25% of Antarctica though, the UK reserved that to them in case they want to claim it (In the antarctic treaty)
Colonize the Hala’ib
