Also from BoingBoing comes an interview with a graphic designer who worked on a project that most would find cryptic - Meta Haven: Sealand Identity Project.
However, as soon as I saw the words "Haven" and "Sealand" in the same sentence, I knew exactly what was meant (HavenCo and the Principality of Sealand, for the ignorant). There was a time where I was enarmored of the idea of creating your own country (although I hoped it would be more spacious that the abandoned helicopter platform that is Sealand). Those were idealistic times, times when it seemed possible to escape from the world and create a clean, well-lighted place.
