Only the weak of mind would ask a question with such an obvious answer.

Heh my mates dad works for BAE and apparently they sold sea land its guns and radar in the late 90s. Its a bit of a joke in the foreign office and so they gave BAE an export license and permission to sell them some quite heavy stuff.

AFAIK its got a bunch of rifles a 50 cal and the guy wanted some AA/AS missiles but couldnt afford them. Now hes minted he could buy a bloody silk worm off the Chinese and sink a super tanker.

All in favor of flying boats, scuba gear, and trained seals? The flying boats are a nice addition because it would be hard to transport our picnic underwater.

Flying seals would be nice too

CloudNineGT · Post by **CloudNineGT** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:54 am

But damn expensive. We can just pick up some of our own seals for free and trach them, that way we have more money for food.
Wait, if one becomes their own country, and they start printing their own money, what is its value? Does it have any?

You can set your own trade rates in your own country, but how others will accept your currency is dependant upon your nation's economy and national reserves.

OR - you could do like Sealand and link your currency to a currency of another nation (in Sealand's case, this was the US Dollar). So the money's value would equal the value of the linked currency.

So are they free to print as much money as they want, and then possibly exchange it for American currency or some other money from thin air stunt? Sounds wacky.

jetbaby · Post by **jetbaby** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 7:26 am

Yes, you can link it, but that doesn't mean that everyone will accept it as such. If you use actual US currency,I'm sure it would be in violation of some law or another unless you are accepting US government. However, to print your own money and say it is eternally equal to the US dollar will probably get you nowhere, but hey, I'm no economist.

Yeah, that's the point. People don't have to accept your money, if they don't want to

I guess the "people" of Sealand simply use British pounds, Euros or US Dollars for trade and shit. The whole "our own currency"-thingy is just to make it seem a bit more like a real country.

Fuck you, Kashluk. We need our own money, clearly, if we're going to be accepted in the international community.

Somebody get on that.

We could use Monopoly-money? It's in never-ending supply!?!

*gets out the white tray with slots* Show those fuckers how to bank.

We need a bottle cap standard economy, none of that silver/gold/coal standard crap. However, an important issue we have failed to address is the naming of the country! We need something epic but touching, with badass compassion and killer mercy. It must strike fear and relaxation into the hearts those who hear it. And what kind of political system are we going to use?

Has anyone found a way to contact the Sealand government? We should probably send them a letter giving them a chance to surrender, just to show them what nice guys we are.

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 7:38 pm

Maybe we should send it over snail mail. So they'll receive it *AFTER* we've kicked their asses?

I think Hammer is dead.

I think we need to go back to the Hard Dollar. We need to grow cotton on Sealand when we take it in order to back our dollar. That or gold. Grow gold.
