Sealand Shines on the Global Stage
Our memorable feature on 60 Minutes was not just one of the most important media highlight – it was a proud declaration of Sealand’s unique status as the world's smallest independent country. When Prince Michael first glimpsed our proud nation on the horizon, it wasn't just a simple sighting; it was the revelation of our enduring spirit of independence and the resilience of the smallest country in the world.
An Entrance Like No Other
The 60 Minutes crew’s first steps onto Sealand were through our iconic "swing", suspended 60 feet above the churning North Sea. This uncommon and unique entry is more than just an access point; it's a bold symbol of our sovereignty and independence. Witnessing their mixture of intrigue and awe as they ascended to our fortress was a moment of amusement and pride for us.
Inside the Fortress: A Journey Through Sealand’s Soul
Guiding Jon Wertheim through the corridors of Sealand was like traversing through the pages of our rich, vibrant history. From the initial areas to the depths of our national cathedral and the historical brig, every nook of Sealand has a tale to tell. Sharing these stories, especially our commitment to religious freedom, and the humorous anecdotes of our two-day jail policy, was a highlight, portraying the unique character of our country.
The Bates Legacy: Guardians of Freedom
Recounting the tales of pirate radio and the relentless defence of our sovereignty was a testament to the unyielding spirit of the Bates family. Prince Michael’s vivid recollections of past battles and victories were not just narratives of resilience but chapters of a legacy that has shaped Sealand’s identity.

Congrats on the fantastic 60mins piece, it seemed very well received. While the rest of the world is coming apart Sealand stands resilient! I can’t wait to see what the future holds, perhaps underwater dome rooms and a colonial period ahead? Someone should paint tar over some of that exposed rebar on the tower also lol. E MARE LIBERTAS!
