**FILE**This is a 1999 file photo of the self-proclaimed sovereign principality of Sealand, aboard an artillery platform built during World War II about seven miles off the coast of Essex, England, as part of Britian's air defenses. Englishman Roy Bates founded Sealand in 1967, proclaiming it an independent state and himself as Prince Roy of Sealand. Since its declaration of independence, Sealand has issued its own passports, coins, and currency. (AP Photo) UNITED KINGDOM OUT -- MAGAZINES OUT -- NO SALES
