 Sealand
is an independent state created by owners Roy and Joan Bates
in 1966.
Since then the former Second World War Royal Navy Fort,
situated eight miles off the coast of Harwich, has been
in the headlines as the smallest country in the world.
The platform measures just 140m by 40m.
Roy and Joan Bates, who live in Westcliff, turned it into
Radio Essex, a pirate radio station.
Mr Bates later began issuing his own stamps, coins and passports
for the state of Sealand.
But Britain has never recognised the fort as being an independent
sovreign state.
