Section 2: Statehood

If you were asked what the smallest country in the world is, I think most people would answer the Vatican. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but in fact, this answer is wrong, the correct answer should be - the Duchy of Syland (send, meaning "land in the sea").

The Duchy of Seeland is located in the sea about eleven kilometers off the southern coast of England.

The history of West German Island began during World War II, when the British and American allies built a platform equipped with a very advanced radar system and a heavy anti-aircraft artillery network on the sea surface in order to counter the possible attacks of Nazi Germany from the air and sea, and named it the "Tower of the Angry Waves".

After the end of World War II, the "Tower of the Angry Waves" was no longer necessary as a military fortress on the sea, so it was not long before the British and American allies abandoned the platform.

In the winter of 1966, Roy, a former major in the British Royal Army and a wealthy businessman. Bates and his family were stationed at the Tower of the Raging Waves.

September 2, 1967, Roy. Bates planted his flag on the "Tower of the Angry Waves" and announced that he would break away from the jurisdiction of the British political axe and establish the "Duchy of Sealland", a state of reading.

According to the international practice of the early seventies of the twentieth century, which stated that a country's territorial waters should be five kilometers away from the coastline of its territory, and that West Land Island was already eleven kilometers away, the British political axe held that West Land Island was not within the jurisdiction of the British political axe.

This decision of the British political axe later became an important legal basis for the reading of the "Duchy of Sealand".

Bates, the self-proclaimed Duke of Sealand, took pains to invest millions of dollars in the construction of Sealand Island. He drafted the constitution, composed the national anthem, issued stamps, minted coins, and issued passports for the "Duchy of Sealand". Currently, some countries in South America, the Middle East and Africa recognize the passport of the "Principality of Sealland".

Although Bates himself is serious, the Duchy of Sealand is nothing more than a fantasy joke internationally.

To date, no country in the world has ever intended to take seriously a country with an area of only 550 square meters and a permanent population of rarely more than five people.

However, it doesn't matter, what matters is that the Principality of Seeland is indeed a country of reading power according to international law.

Even if it's a joke, the Principality of Zealand is a serious joke, and it has a huge uncertain surname on it.

The first person to realize this and use it was called Sean. Hastings, who is an American internet mogul.

Two thousand years ago, thirty-two years old Sean. Hastings, who created the "Safe Harbor" company in the Duchy of the West Rander, is committed to making this company, and the Duchy of the West Rand the world's largest information free port.

Of course, this is just a high-sounding excuse, to put it bluntly, Sean. Hastings just wanted to use this pretense to hide dirt and dirt.

For the vast majority of people in the world, everything in the Principality of Syland seems ridiculous and boring.

No one ever thought that the Principality of Sealand, as a country, could play a huge role in the world like other countries, and even some large countries.

It is true that in the history of the world, there are indeed many very small countries that have stood tall among the nations of the world through a long struggle.

However, with 550 square meters, the registered population is not more than 100, and the permanent population is only 5 people, this is too child's play, right?

Even the owners of the Duchy of Syland, the Bates family, had no illusions about the future of the Duchy of Sealand, and from the beginning, they and Sean. Hastings, like that, just wanted to make some money.

That's why they entrusted the whole country to Sotheby's auction house, intending to sell the ridiculous dream of decades in a bag.

The asking price of the Principality of Zealand is 100 million pounds, which is about 1 billion when converted into the current yuan.

Even Sotheby's auction house was not optimistic about the Bates family's asking price, and wanted to persuade the Bates family to lower the price so as not to lose the auction. However, the Bates family was determined to make this price, and Sotheby Auction House had no choice but to comply.

The auction was held on 30 August 2019.

Because this auction has quite a hunting surname, for the current press industry, having a hunting surname is equivalent to a news surname. As a result, early in the morning, many reporters were already sitting in the entire auction hall.

However, to the embarrassment of the auction house, no one officially paid the deposit and officially joined the auctioneers until five minutes before the auction was about to officially begin.

Just when the auction house and the Bates family were worried that the sensational auction would go through, a middle-aged white man with golden braids appeared, dressed in a formal dress, and behind him stood another middle-aged white man, as well as a middle-aged Chinese, smiling and belatedly speaking.

He is Sean, the president of Haven. Hastings, now 16 years old.

When he appeared, there was a stirring in the crowd of reporters, and when he pulled out his checkbook and calmly filled in the astronomical deposit on the check, the spotlight began to shine wildly.

And seeing this scene, the people of the Bates family were all taken aback, they didn't think of Sean. Hastings actually came to the auction. They didn't even think of it, Sean. Why does Hastings have so much cash.

"Is this guy so rich? How did I never know? Prince Regent Michael Bates of the Principality of Sealand thought to himself.

That's when Sean. Hastings turned around, gave the reporters a smug smile, and said, "When the auction is over, I'm going to have a big press conference, so please don't leave." ”

All said and done, Sean. Hastings walked into the auction room with his head held high.

The auction went on briefly, and the host walked up to the auction table, read a brief introduction to the Duchy of Zealand, and looked at Sean. Hastings, "The reserve price is 100 million pounds, and now the bidding is starting. ”

Sean. Hastings didn't answer immediately, but looked at it with pleasure, as if there were ghosts bidding with him in those empty seats.

Until the white man behind him frowned and coughed, Sean. Hastings gathered up his spirits, slowly raised his hand, and shouted in a tone that he thought was very noble: "Billion pounds." ”

The host paused, and after scolding "stupid" in his heart, he hammered the mallet down, "100 million pounds, deal." Sir, the Principality of Zealand is yours. ”

Half an hour later, five limousines were present to all the reporters who were present and picked up a nearby five-star hotel, Sean. It was at this hotel that Hastings held his grand press conference.

In the blank expressions of the reporters, Sean. Hastings smiled and walked up to the front desk and said loudly, "Today is August 30, 2019, I, Sean. It was here that Hastings officially announced the official renaming of the Duchy of Syland as the Kingdom of Utopia. The Utopian Kingdom will have a constitutional monarchy, and from now on, I will become the king of the Utopian Kingdom, and today will be the national day of the Utopian Kingdom. ”

The reporters shook their heads with a smile as they typed Sean in their notebooks. Hastings' words.

Although they themselves think it's too idiotic, those bored people who have eaten enough and have nothing to do at home to read gossip should be happy to read about it.

"As I have always insisted on, the founding purpose of our utopian kingdom remains to advocate the barrier-free communication of knowledge and technology for all mankind. Our whole country will work to break down all kinds of technological barriers and technological barriers, so that all mankind can equally enjoy the benefits of the progress of human civilization, not just those who are powerful. ”

"Next, I would like to introduce to you two important people in our country, who are our country's first Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance. First of all, Prime Minister Jordanman. ”

Sean. After Hastings finished speaking, he pointed to the somewhat old middle-aged white man in the audience with an exaggerated expression, this person was Professor Jordanman whom Duan Tianluo had met at the beginning.

With a solemn expression, Jordan walked up to Sean with formal steps. In front of Hastings, after bowing deeply, he stood aside.

"Professor Joudmann is German, a standard humanist, a great theoretical constructor. He has a very keen view of the future of humanity and the development of the situation in the world as a whole. I believe that under the leadership of the utopian political axe headed by him, our utopian kingdom will surely embark on the road to prosperity. ”

"Prime Minister, will you say a few words?" Sean. With that, Hastings turned around and said to Jordan with a sigh of relief.

"Not today, Your Majesty." Jodeman smiled respectfully and declined.

In the future, not only the press, but all of humanity will see Jodeman's oratorical talent, but now is not the time. Jodeman knows better than anyone that even the most brilliant orator can incite anyone with empty words alone.

Words must be combined with action in order to be as demagogic as possible.

Silence is the best speech before any real action is taken.

"Next, I will introduce to you Minister Chen Feiyu." Seeing that Jordan was reluctant to speak, Sean. Hastings continued.

Like Jordan, Chen Feiyu's expression also looked very serious, and he walked to Sean. In front of Hastings, he bowed to him, and then stood on the other side.

Sean. Hastings turned his face sideways, looked at Chen Feiyu, and saw that Chen Feiyu shook his head, so he turned his face back and said into the microphone: "Before our Prime Minister Jordan reads out our country's founding program, I would like to introduce you to the highlight of today. ”

"The main event?" The reporters looked at each other and smiled bitterly, when will this farce end?

"There is the adopted daughter of Please, the treasure of utopia, Princess Serkina."

Sean. As soon as Hastings finished speaking, he saw a tall, perfect Russian beauty walk out from behind the curtain.

This Serkina is none other Serkina, it is Serkina, Duan Tianwolf's college classmate.

These reporters, who seemed to be a little interested, finally got up their spirits at this time, and quickly took out their cameras one after another, and tried their best to shoot non-stop. It doesn't matter if it's a big or small country, as long as it's a beauty, plus the title of a princess, it's a sales guarantee.

31 August 201.

The joint meeting of the three groups is now on its fifth day, and the meeting is still discussing some details and has not progressed to the key parts. Therefore, Simon also rarely has some leisure to sit in his room and listen to the opera.

As a result, just a few minutes after being idle, he saw Yun Fei hurriedly walking in again.

As soon as they met, Yun Fei handed him a newspaper, "Take a look." ”

Simon took the paper, "The Principality of Sealand has been successfully sold for 100 million pounds, owned by Sean, the president of the 'Safe Haven' company. Hastings. Sean. Hastings officially renamed the Duchy of Syland the Kingdom of Utopia and issued a new decree ......"

Thinking of this, Simon raised his head with a smile, looked at Yun Fei and said, "Seeing that you are in a hurry, I thought there was something big." When did you become so gossipy? ”

"Gossip? Do you think this is just ordinary gossip? Yun Fei asked rhetorically.

Seeing Yun Fei so serious, Simon's eyebrows jumped, and he looked at the report again, at this time, he realized something a little, "Utopia Kingdom...... Utopia Forum ...... You mean? No way? ”

"Look at the back again." Yun Fei said.

Simon looked at Yun Fei and flipped over the newspaper, "The new world's number one beautiful princess, Princess Serkina of the Utopia Kingdom......"

As soon as Simon read this, Yun Fei said, "This Serkina is none other than Duan Tianwolf's college classmate?" ”

"What?" As soon as he heard this, Simon sat up suddenly, and at this time, the expression he looked at the newspaper was completely different from just now, "So, this matter is really what Duan Tianwolf is doing behind the scenes?" ”

"100 percent so." Yun Fei said.

Simon pondered for a while, shook his head in disbelief, looked at Yun Fei and asked, "He actually built ...... Country? What kind of trick is this? ”
