Title: Need a present for somebody who already owns everything?
Post by: Jeff Kelly on January 08, 2007, 12:38:47 AM
What about his own sovereign nation?

Sealand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealand) is to be auctioned off. For merely 750,000,000 Euro it could be yours.

If we buy it, can we rename it New Sealand ?

Apparently, I could just bust in with some guns and take it.

Dracula's castle is a lot cheaper at only 60 million Euros (http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=2784108).

But is it a country no one recognizes?

Who cares?  Does Sealand let you run around with a cape and bad accent claiming to be a vampire?  In your own castle?  It's a rich LARPer's dream!

The thought of RIAA lawyers in boats getting sunk by guns on the platform is nice, though.
