Make Sealand Great Again: Story of the World’s Smallest Country

Presented at the Free Cities Foundation Conference, Prague 2025

By Prince Liam of Sealand

Freedom Isn’t Granted , It’s Claimed

Last week my father, Prince Michael, and I travelled to Prague to give a speech at the Free Cities Foundation Conference, a gathering of people building the future of free societies.

Our talk, “Make Sealand Great Again: Story of the World’s Smallest Country,” shared how one family’s stand for independence became a 60-year story of self-determination & what comes next.

“Long before people could vote with their feet, my family did exactly that.”

What We Covered

• The fight for free airwaves: how my Grandfather, Prince Roy's time as a 'Radio Pirate' lead to the founding of Sealand

• The 1967 declaration: Founding the Principality of Sealand with its own flag, passports, constitution, and coat of arms.

• Battles for sovereignty: from armed invasions to the 1968 UK court ruling confirming Britain had no jurisdiction, and the 1978 coup d’état that cemented Sealand’s independence.

• Sealand 2.0: a first look at the next phase: digital nation-building, E-Citizenship, and blockchain-based governance for a new generation of freedom-builders.
