Not strictly on-thread, but : http://www.havenco.net/
These chaps state that they operate on an independent island that is not
related to the UK. They offer secure colocation services -- they'll host
pretty much anything, and leave you alone to get on with your business. If
the island is "invaded", by for example, the UK government, they have a
self-distruct button ready.
They are expensive -- a "their hardware" option costs US$1,500 a month. A
"your hardware" option doesn't exist -- they cite security concerns.
However, the "island" is a hole, six miles off the Kent coast. It's a bit
like the Island of Sheppey, only less inbred. It's not even a natural
island, check out

Sealand government have a website www.sealandgov.com.
