Octal gave a talk at Defcon or HOPE a few years in a row about Sealand.
The last one he spilled the beans on how bad Sealand did. Managerial and
customer base wise. IIRC for months the entire internet connection was
done over a cell phone at 9600bps or some such. He went into some details
about difficulties of the idea (banks won't accept you.) One of the most
memorable talks I've seen.
