I just saw this on TV.

This guy owns an ex-gun platform in the North Sea. He and some friends of his have created their own 'state' with their own flag and laws.

They have a very modern looking server room, with very futuristic design and loads of servers, they mentioned that they have many customers and that they are unlike other webhosts because they have their own rules.

They have their own sea navigation station and their own pirate radio stations.

Their site:
http://www.sealandgov.com/

Also the site of their webhosting business:
http://www.havenco.com/

Photos from their old 'historic' site:
http://www.fruitsofthesea.demon.co.u...d/gallery.html

Also, found some photos of Sealand, but they are not affiliated with the main site (some guy went for a visit):
http://kim.nyclondon.com/gallery/sealand

I've always dreamt of having something like this
