Micronations unrecognized

In the world not all the countries that are recognized by the rest, like Taiwan, Kosovo, Transnistria or Abkhazia. There are others who also are not recognized by any government or international organization. These are called micronations, very small territories, which rarely exceed hundreds of people and lack of recognition of international organizations and world governments. Some examples of this type of microstates are:

Sealand is a micronation, which unlike the others, has not mainland, but it is an offshore platform built during the Second World War by the Royal Navy.
Was occupied on September 2, 1967 by Paddy Roy Bates, who coined for himself the name of His Royal Highness Prince King of Sealand.
Despite its small size (550 m ^2), Sealand is one of the best-known micronations, due to disputes with the United Kingdom, who claimed as his platform for being in its territorial waters, as well as incidents such as the capture of Bates by the Prime Minister Achenbach to take the tower, and the subsequent attack by Bates with a helicopter assault to retake control of Sealand. Achenbach and his associates were captured and declared prisoners of war, which caused a conflict with the Netherlands and Germany demanding his release.
