I guess I didn't find the pictures that you and Tim had. So if you
want physical toughness and they won't let you into that granite
mountain in Colorado, I guess the ex-silo in UK or the salt mines
of Kansas are it. There goes the banks.
The whole Sealand game is sovereignty. Played
out in the UK courts, possibly the UN, and with pretty much the
same arms and surveillance equiptment your average homeowner (anchored
yachtsman) on the open seas would have. (or a retired admiral could
finagle?)

Interesting. Should make that German's life a lot harder.. But don't
dudes descend from copters on ropes longer than poles would be?

You don't broadcast the kind of surveillance you do... that's
why some dishes get those neat domes over them :-)
Though you *do* parade your missile launchers etc.. deterrence..

Maybe that's their affirmative action policy --they'll permit smaller
stuff for the smaller framed personnel.

Gosh maybe they'll even get an apology and some $ *fifty years later* like
the Japs that were rounded up in the US... investors can't wait that long...

Yet another point in favor of truly distributed information brokering, vs.
Sealand's single point of failure (which they will work very hard to
ameliorate, one expects).
