Platform Nation: an Old Idea

It seems the latest thing in "going Galt" is building your own autonomous nation on a platform in the ocean. It was done in the 1960's; it was a joke then and it is a joke now.
A British radio broadcaster who calls himself Prince Roy Bates founded the Principality of Sealand (the whole of the country is above) on an abandoned World War II anti-aircraft platform in the English Channel. The handful of people living on that platform earn a modest income from selling novelty postage stamps and coins.

It's not nearly as romantic as the seasteaders claim but I do want to encourage the movement as it will rid the land of a few certifiable loons.
