toxic barge

Original idea from the founder of Sealand

The idea was to buy a ship, fill the top of the hold with computer severs and the bottom with the nastiest toxic waste imaginable, then plant yourself in international waters near a major port and start offering co-location services. As Hastings explained, the toxic waste “forces the large military power to protect you from outside threats, while being very hesitant to attempt to board your vessel.”
