The Principality of Sealand (/ ˈ s iː ˌ l æ n d /) is a micronation on HM Fort Roughs (also known as Roughs Tower), an offshore platform in the North Sea approximately twelve kilometres (6 + 1 ⁄ 2 nautical miles) off the coast of Suffolk, England.
In 1967, Sealand was founded as a sovereign Principality on a military fortress, seven miles from the eastern shores of Britain. Sealand’s history and adventure has been defined by armed invasion attempts, the fighting of legal battles, countering a coup d’etat and surviving natural disaster while remaining fiercely independent.
For almost sixty years, the Principality of Sealand has been forging a vibrant and dynamic culture which has captured the imagination of people all over the world. Today, part of this culture has been born out of our national sports teams.
