Lmao!! Ahh Sealand. Population: 4. Wait. Is Sealand recognized as an independant nation?
I'm gonna start my own nation too! I offically claim the Survivor 1 island for the...uhhhhhh...Republic of Survivor! The population will be free to be fat, naked, gay guys! Only they won't have to be shown on T.V. and they don't get a million bucks for being fat, naked, gay guys! Woo hoo! Richard from Survivor will be appointed as President! YAY.....

I started my own nation when I was in HS. I called it the Terran Federated Imperium. I took a page from Frank Zappa & included the "Involuntary Induction Clause," which stated that I could "lay hands" on a map & instantly proclaim that all persons, lands, & resources in the represented affected areas were now belong to the Imperium. I took it once step further as well: any place that any Imperial citizen had ever been or currently was belong to the Imperium. Furthermore, anywhere they MIGHT go in their travels would ALSO belong to the Imperium.
Annexation transitus. Gotta love it.
Heh...maybe I'll revive it. Some of you lot would make marvelous regional sub-emperors.

In this case I do beleive that it should be recognized, but in no way does that apply to any land. Each case must be examined carefully, because some are in no way deserving of recognition, an example that comes to mind would be Kosovo, in the Balkans, which only seeks independence in order to join Albania. But if a land has it's own unique people that do not have a land of their own, then they do deserve a country.

Does any country officially recognize Sealand, in any case?

Probably not. But I don't think any country officially denies it recognition, either. I don't know that any country has any official stance on the matter at all. Other than Sealand itself, of course. :-)
