Explanation:
[STC001912] Sealand is a self-proclaimed ‘autonomous state’ that was formed in 1967 by retired British army major ‘Paddy’ Roy Bates off the coast of Essex. Bates was known as “Paddy.” An abandoned anti-aircraft gun station from World War II that was located in what was then considered to be international waters makes up its inhabitable area. Bates initially occupied the 120-by-50-foot platform in 1966 to conduct pirate radio broadcasts, before later deciding to declare his own micronation, of which he was the prince and his wife the princess. In 1968, the Royal Navy took action and detained Bates, but later that year, a court ruled that Sealand was not subject to British authority and that Sealand should be considered independent. After that, Bates initiated the production of coins, dollars, and postage stamps to assist in the funding of his newly established nation. (Sealand also has its own passports, though it is unclear whether or not these passports have ever been made available for purchase.) The micronation continues to exist to this day and is presently governed by Prince Michael, Bates’s son.
