I saw this on TV the other day and I thought you might be interested:

Sea Land. It's a small abandoned sea defence from World war 2 built in international waters. Although it should have been destroyed, it wasn't, and actually became it's own country instead.

There are people who live there, and is currently used as a storage facility for an IT company, as it's practically the safest place in the world.

One of it's best features is the 'chainlift' that you need to sit in to go up and down.
