The
Principality of Sealand is a
micronation located on
HM Fort Roughs, a former
World War II Maunsell Sea Fort in the
North Sea 10 km (six miles) off the coast of
Suffolk, England (51°53'40"N, 1°28'57"E).
Since 1967, the facility has been occupied by former
Major HRH Prince Roy of Sealand; his associates and family claim that it is an
independent sovereign state. External commentators generally classify Sealand as a
micronation rather than an
unrecognised state.
[3] While it has been described as the world's smallest nation,
[4] Sealand is not currently officially recognised as a sovereign state by
any sovereign state. Although Roy Bates claims it is
de facto recognised by Germany as they have sent a diplomat to the micronation, and by the United Kingdom after an English court ruled it did not have jurisdiction over Sealand, neither action constitutes
de jure recognition as far as the respective countries are concerned.
