    I like how he retook his "country" by helicopter assault when his "Prime Minister" and some Germans and Dutch attempted to take over when he was away.

    Torpedo it.
    According to the Theory of War, which teaches that the best way to avoid the inconvenience of war is to pursue it away from your own country, it is more sensible for us to fight our notorious enemy in his own realm, with the joint power of our allies, than it is to wait for him at our own doors.

    Are you trying to make a point of some sort or don't you seriously see the difference between Kosovo and these microstates?

    Then I would suggest you to do some basic research on the subject(s) or accept your limited view and knowledge on the matter. Learning is in your hands, not mine. You need to make the choice.

    But if you read the article it sounds like quite a formal state. The court decided he could not be tried under British law for firing warning shots at people within it's waters. And someone else mentioned he retook it by helicopter invasion and even managed to get hold of some POW's.

    i think I am going to have to get my own country when I am older. :hmmm:

    A micronation can't be recognised, the Fort is British, if they piss us off, we'll simply take it back, but until then they can just stay quite and live out their fantasies.

    several years ago, some people wanted to buy that country and make piratic downloads legal, so that all the piratic downloading sites would be legal.
