SILLAND: The smallest countries in the world

The vast blue sea There is a platform standing in the middle of it. The name is his sylland This is the smallest country in the world! What? Startled Yes, we all know Vatican City as the world's smallest country. And not only that, according to their claim, this is the smallest country in the world. So let's not know today that the world's smallest country is about Ciland.

Principality of Sylland

The 'Princetality of Sealand', in short, is located six miles away from the British coast. It has survived for nearly 50 years. This is actually a maritime fort founded by Britain in World War II. Initially it was called 'Raffs Tower'. Its work was to counter enemy aircraft, to monitor and report on German mine installations in England's waterside. During the war it was home to some 150-300 soldiers. In addition, there were various radar equipment, two 6-inch guns, and two 40 mm. Anti-aircraft automatic gun The Royal Navy announced it was abandoned in 1956.

Sylmond structure

The Symantec is actually built on a huge sinking ship. In 1942, a large floating flat vessel like a ferry was first taken. Then it is attached to the two concrete hollow towers connected with the pattan, so that it can be made up of other structures. Each of these two towers had a total of seven floors. They were used to keep food and sleeping rooms, warehouse houses and various munitions. After the completion of its construction, the 'ruff stands' were dragged into the sandwiches with the help of three tugboats. After bringing it, its huge plane was sinking into the water. As a result, it serves as the basis for the entire structure. The area of ​​all the structures above is 15 yards x 40 yards.

History of Ciland

At the end of the war, when the need for the ciland is gone, the Royal Navy goes away with all their equipment. As a result, the structure remains abandoned for several years. Then in 1967 there was an illegal radio broadcasting team base. They started using this place as their helicopter landing pad and started living here comfortably. But their comfort did not last long. In September of that year, Roy Betts, another illegal radio broadcaster, evicted the previous residents and occupied the place. Roy Bates earlier operated another illegal radio station called 'Radio Essex'. But after being in the 3-mile British area, he was caught and fined. As a result, Bates came to Raffs Tower with all his equipment and 15-year-old son Michael, and took possession after a long struggle. But still this tower could not become a full-fledged radio station. Because there was some change in the sea law by that time. And according to that change, outside British territory, wireless broadcasts were declared illegal.

Whatever he is, Roy Bates did not leave the artificial island captured. He took full control of it and declared it a sovereign and independent state, the 'Princeton of peace'. A lawyer who dragged a call on the announcement of this announcement, who gave the intellect, how it can be permanently occupied by Bates. In fact, the location of this infrastructure is in international waterway. And no country in the world owns this international watershed. There is no country's control here. So anyone who wants to sit here will be able to sit on the ground. It was also outside the controlled area of ​​England. But the Royal Navy could not interfere in this regard.

But in the following year, Ciland would face another danger and face another danger. One day, a 'British Trinity House' ship in front of Cambodia fired a warning fighter in front of the Roy Beats ship. As a result, he was arrested after betas entered England. The lawsuit filed in the court of Roy and Michael Bates was presented in court. However, the judge declared that there was no restriction against the Bates family due to the British border and judiciary. As a result, he survived the trip, Bates

After that, for a few years, it was quite peaceful. In between, some detachment groups and smugglers tried to capture the seals, but Roy Betts resisted them and drove them out of their area. Then, in 1975, the state's constitution was published from Seattle. Slowly within a few years their flag, national anthem, post tickets, coins and passports were introduced. The design of the national symbol and seal of the seals is made according to the national motto "E Mare Libertas", which means "to be liberated from the sea".

Just 10 years after the announcement of this independence, in August 1978, a German and Dutch diamond businessman invited Roy Betts to do business in Austria. When he arrived in Austria, Roy and his wife Joan welcomed a group of five and took businessmen 'conference. Bates's family reached the conference, but the conference ended when there was no discussion at the conference. In such suspicious behavior Roy Bates attempted to contact in Ciland. However, it is not possible to contact because there is no telephone or radio. However, they contacted the neighboring fishermen to know that a huge helicopter landed in Ciland. As a result, the prospect of a danger is in the nets of bethes couple couples.

Their doubts became a reality when they found Michael after a few days. After a few days of leaving Chile, they landed a helicopter in the name of a letter sent to Ryan. But soon after landing, they took the whole of Sylland in collaboration with the then Prime Minister of Sealand, and arrested Michael. Then they kept Michael in a room for three days without food and water, and finally sent him out on a Dutch launch. The launch took away Michael's cash and passport and left him in Holland without being in a helpless position.

After this incident, when the family members are assembled, the Bates family gathers some weapons and manpower. Among them was a pilot who worked in James Bond. Then they all went on a reconciliation drive in Ciland. After reaching there, Michael snatched the shotgun by hand and shot a few rounds. Soon the Chilean conquering teams surrendered. They were detained for a long time as war criminals. Later, they were handed over to the country if they were to be released from their respective countries. In this way, he returned to Seleland, his freedom. Roy Bates died in 2012 after many years of it.
