    Did you know...

    6 miles off the coast of UK, you can find the only man-made country in the world -- Sealand!
    Sealand was built during World War II as British outpost to defend the mainland. After being abandoned by the British, a family took possession of it in 1969 and filed all the paperwork to make this outpost a sovereign country. Sealand now has its own flag, currency, passports, and ruling Prince and Princess!
