   During the 1939-45 War, Great Britain established an artificial island on the High Seas.This island was equipped with radar and heavy armaments and occupied by some two hundred servicemen. The tiny Principality of Sealand, which began life as Roughs Tower in 1941, is a 550 square metre steel platform perched on two concrete towers 12 kilometres off the coast of Harwich, eastern England.  It is accessible only by helicopter and boat but according to its owners, who want offers of eight digits or over, boasts uninterrupted sea views, guarantees complete privacy and is a tax haven.Prince Michael saying: "We have owned the island for 40 years now and my father is 85, perhaps it is time for some rejuvenation. Although its nation status is disputed, Sealand boasts a military past like any other country, defending its sovereignty from outside threats. In the winter of 1966, former British army major Paddy Roy Bates and his family took possession and commenced the task of equipping and restoring the island. On 2 September 1967, they hoisted their own flag and declared it a state in international waters, the Principality of Sealand and gave himself the title "prince". Britain's Royal Navy attempted to evict him the following year but were unsuccessful. As they entered territorial waters, Roy of Sealand fired warning shots from the former fort.A judge then ruled in his favour that Sealand was outside British government control as it was beyond the three-mile limit of the country's waters. In 1974, Roy of Sealand introduced a constitution. A flag, national anthem, currency -- the gold and silver Sealand dollar which is the equivalent to the US dollar - and passports have followed suit. Four years later, Dutch and German businessmen on Sealand to discuss a business deal kidnapped Roy's son but were overpowered and held as prisoners of war before eventually being released.
