However, an unrecognised nation is a nation that de facto exists but lacks diplomatic recognition by other countries.
Think of Transnistria, Northern Cyprus, Nagorno-Karabakh, Somaliland, ...
Since a ccTLD is given based on country codes in, if I am not wrong, ISO 3166-1, it is unlikely Sealand or any other unrecognised nation is ever going to get its own TLD. Hence, the Sealand email service I mentioned is probably going to be the closest to a Sealand email that will ever exist, since it is run by the official website of Sealand.

That said, since anyone can apply for a TLD now (hence the launch of new extentions such as .ninja, .club, .bar, .top, ...), in theory the self-declared government of Sealand could apply for its own extention. It is very doubtful that it'd be accepted though, and since the people occupying the oil rink seem to be more about making money than spending money, they'll probably rate the procedure to get an own TLD too expensive

PS: there used to be a self-declared micronation called Lovely

That was a project by a British TV celebrity. The distinction is that that one fell under British law de jure, since it was just an apartment in London.
Sealand is in international waters, thus out of British jurisdiction.
