The following is from a piece regarding a possible home for
avoiding internet intrusion by governments.
If it fails maybe we could shoot there. It's closer than France
(I have no idea how big it is. The fort not France)
>A retired British Army major is planning to offer refuge to
companies sick of government meddling in the Web.
Roy Bates and his family have lived on the concrete fortress of
Sealand - moored six miles off the Essex coast - since 1967. The
Sealand platform, originally built to keep the Germans out during
WW2, was declared a sovereign state by Bates in 1975 and boasts
its own passports, currency and constitution.
Now a squad of US entrepreneurs think Sealand could be a useful safe
haven for evading increasing governmental controls on the Web -
such as the imminent Regulation of Investigatory Powers (RIP) Bill.

And he's recently been done for attempting to import arms from
Russia. Not sure what the legal status is of Sealand, though
I am sure it will be shortly tested in court.
