World's smallest country #factsnews #shorts

Where there are large countries like China or Russia, there is a country the size of a tennis court.

Yes, the country is called Sealand.

Sealand has a surface area of only 6,000 square feet.

The country is so small that cannot be found on Google Maps.

The country is situated 10 km away from the Suffolk beach of England in an abandoned building on the ocean.

During World War II, the British Army constructed the structure as an anti-air gun defense station.

Major Roy Bates, an Army radio presenter, captured Sealand in 1967 and declared it an independent country.

The country has 27 citizens and its own flag.

Following this, Sealand established everything an independent country would require: a working government, passports, permanent population, constitution, currency, stamps, and a means to preserve sovereignty.

Today, the Bates family governs small states as hereditary royal rulers However, international powers are not ready to acknowledge its independence.
