Couple things
In Scotland its laird.
Second thing these titles are a scam. (Yes I get its a joke but I dislike scam companies abusing my heritage)
Source: me technically a land owner in Scotland
Edit misread the plaque. Ignore me
Principality of Sealand means it's that loony that lives on the old WW2 platform that looks like an oil rig in the English Channel. So 'lord' is probably right. Didn't think he had so many square feet to give away, unless it's at the bottom of the sea, in which case, good luck.
I've one of the 'whisky distillery' ones that supposedly makes me a laird and entitles me to a dram if I rock up. But yes; much like having a star named after you, it's a pretty bit of whimsy to hang on the wall, no more.
My wall of shame has worse certificates that cost more hung there. I'm a certified engineer for an EMR product that stopped existing 6 months after my company paid for the course and test.
I have heard of Sealand. I misread the plaque. I'm happy to admit I'm an idiot on the Internet.
Thought it was that shitty company that was all over yt a while back
