Invade & conquer Sealand. It would be cheap to hire some mercenaries
You could avoid the cost of the mercenaries by colonizing Rockall [wikipedia.org] instead. You could earn money by leasing fishing rights, tax-free internet banking, and crypto-mining with wind power.
Or arm the North Sentinelese [wikipedia.org] with assault rifles and declare independence from India.

The UK also claims legal jurisdiction over Sealand.
Once the North Sentinelese become proficient with their assault rifles, the obvious solution is to transfer them to Rockall/Sealand.
They defended North Sentinel Island for ten thousand years with bows and arrows. With modern weapons, they should have no problem repelling a platoon of Royal Marines.

Why bother sending in Marines? Just park a ship nearby and lob shells at it.

Not technically true. Any enquiries about Sealand are referred to the UK's Foreign And Commonwealth Office.
Sealand declared UDI before the UK extended its territorial waters from 3 to 12 nautical miles in 1987, so at the time of UDI it was in international waters.
OK so no states formally recognise it as a sovereign state, but the UK does not assert legal jurisdiction over Sealand.
