Sealand is the world's smallest "country."
An abandoned World War Two military base consisting
of a platform perched on two concrete towers in the
North Sea, it was claimed some 40 years ago and now
has its own flag, stamps, currency and passports.
And it's for sale for slightly under $1 billion.
The Top 17 Downsides to Owning Your Own Small Country
17> Angelina Jolie and Madonna always trying to steal your kids.
16> Always picked last for the United Nations kickball tournament.
15> Your GNP is directly related to the cash advance limit on your
Player's Club International card.
14> Your only two cities? Starbucks North and Starbucks South.
13> Turns out "I own a country" isn't nearly as good a pick-up
line as "I'm a producer. Wanna dance in a rap video?"
12> Postmaster Mom put your freshman picture on all the stamps.
11> Damn tourists keep flushing the national toilet while you're
in the national shower.
10> Your entry in the Miss Universe contest? Grandma. Again.
9> Ironically, Disney says you're not big enough for It's
a Small World.
8> The queen's not buying your assertion that the strip club
being built behind the capitol building is strictly for
tourism purposes.
7> Your nuclear capability is limited to dental X-rays.
6> It's hard to properly run a country when you're always busy
unclogging your throne.
5> Your air power is crippled when Master Sergeant Timmy's kite
gets stuck in a tree.
4> When you show up at the U.N., the superpower ambassadors
always give you a wedgie and take your lunch money.
3> No chance of a "Girls of Tinystan" edition of Playboy.
2> The Liechtensteiners keep asking to borrow a cup of sugar.
and the Number 1
Downside to Owning Your Own Small Country...
1> While your Director of Homeland Security is busy chasing
squirrels, foreign invaders disrupt the seat of government

&LT;lol> creative and funny.
My favorite is: "4> When you show up at the U.N., the superpower ambassadors
always give you a wedgie and take your lunch money."
