As much as I would like to claim, on behalf of my countrymen, an absolutely unique status in this regard, I do believe that there are any number of other locales from whence a similar feat could be accomplished. Iceland seems like a possibility, but also Belize, perhaps Gibraltar, The Dominican Republic, and quite certainly Nevis & St. Kitts. Oh! And the sovereign Republic of Sealand, of course.
