New Sealand

I have redirected the Dailypedia. This is because from next Friday the concept of micromanagement will be irrelevant to me. I am leaving my job and moving my operation to foreign climes. To this end I have linked to an article about a foreign land not far from here. Although I call it such, it's not officially a foreign land, despite circulating its own stamps and coinage. It is a micronation. Unlike micromanagement, micronations are for the most part, just a bit of fun. Micronations are usually fantasy lands founded by eccentrics who claimed ownership to a piece of land by attempting to succeed it from its officially recognised owner. In the specific case I have linked to, the word "land" is even a little far-reaching. It's actually an off-shore oil rig. It is called Sealand. I would suggest that if you are interested in the whole concept of micronations, you read this Wikipedia entry before you start.
