Sealand
Sealand, in full the Principality of Sealand, is a micronation located on HM Fort Roughs, a former Sea Fort in the North Sea 10 km (six miles) off the coast of Suffolk, England - UK.
Since 1967, the facility has been occupied by the former radio broadcaster British Army Major Paddy Roy Bates; his associates and family claim that it is an independent sovereign state.
External commentators generally classify Sealand as a micronation.
It has been described as the "world's smallest nation".
Sealand is not currently officially recognized as a sovereign state by any United Nations member.

Bizarrely-seeming - but in fact valid - there are nearly 1000 hits on Google for "Sealand" "e-learning". It is left as an exercise for the reader to determine how to categorise these - most seem valid but not to do with the "Sealand" described on this page.
Re.ViCa takes a broad view on the concept of country but not so broad as to include Sealand.
