Now the question is, do I wish to be a Lord, or a Baron?

you wouldn't be. since the U.S. doesn't recognize them as a sovereign nation.

US Constitution doesn't recognize titles like that by the way. Part of the reason we broke away from England.

Alternatively, you can just call yourself a Lord or Baron...for free. It means the same in the long run.

Why not buy the whole country, iirc they are only asking a couple of hundred million.


The pirate bay were looking at buying it so they could operate without copyright regulations a while back.

Not much room for expansion there, eh? Couldn't even house an army... how ever do they plan on annexing nearby nations?

I love Sealand and plan to apply to be their stateside Ambassador.

Their history is awesome! They were taken over by some Dutch folk and the Prince took their nation back with a borrowed helicoptor and a shotgun! He only had to fire a warning shot before the Dutch surrendered!

They need to set up webservers to support ThePirateBay so torrents can remain free...
