Re: new countries but now flags - why not
Jens: kann man den schwachfug nicht zu machen? man bekommt augenkrebs von den sachen
eugenbudei: i declare today my garden as independent and new country, set a flag, and a crown on my head and play the new king of alexanderland there. i call to mr. putin and ask him for some soldiers. what are you thinking, will think my neighbors about me? (ripe for the madhouse)
atol: palestine and the gaza strip are with own domain .ps and still in the country/domain list of FC. south sudan is with .ss but they do not have own ips at the moment and such other problems than internet. about the case of kosovo i wrote yesterday. the rest of the "new countries" in your list is a puppet theater and nothing more. nobody and never will accept north cyprus as an country. this is an occupied part of the republic of cyprus. (sc 541, 1983 uno) i saw that you are with 203 countries/domains at the moment, until 233 is something possible. look for north korea .kp this is a big drill or such small islands like .um which are with own domains - good luck.

Re: new countries but now flags - why not
it is no important you accept or no accept new countries.... Some peoples accept some peoples no accept... For example, thousands TCClub (bigest travelers club in the world) members accept...
All new countries have own domain (ask local peoples...no politicians abroad)
have you been for example in Nagorno-Karabakh ? I visited this country personally...
Few thousands young soldiers died because they want to be independent.... say to his mothers it was only puppet theater... no coment....
you must more study history and geography
If you are to noisy and drunk in your independent garden maybe (after your neighbour call to police) you spend night in country jail no in your independent garden jail
My english is to poor to explain differences between your garden and country status...
You must more study....
Best wishes

Re: new countries but now flags - why not
Alexander: what you want seems to be not possible for the moment. We must wait the recognition from TCClub (bigest travelers club in our galaxy). About the name : Graceland was already taken?
Atol: you are right : we must study ,history, geography, psychology,psychiatry, etc
And something else, Moldavia is de facto part of Romania but officilly is independent and Transnistria is officially part of Moldavia but de facto is independent, like you said. Which one is a country in your opinion? . I know your answer: both of them because TCC said so.

Re: new countries but now flags - why not
my "garden" was only an example for the puppet theater. (joke to the theater) ".....you must more study........" is an insolence. in the case of the republic of cyprus i have called international laws and the resolution of the security council, 541 of the united nations!!! it can not make everyone what he wants. what is TCClub for a reference? travel agency as reference for international law? my reference are the united nations.
now i can read something new about moldavia. moldavia is neither a part of romania. republic of moldavia, member of the uno, domain .md - is always in the countrylist. and what is graceland, the area of michael jackson? or what ;)
in the daily press we can read about new possible conflict between the falkland islands and argentina. what you mean in this case? the falklands are part of argentina or the united kingdom?
atol wrote also that all the "new countries" are with own domains. show us please this new domains.

Re: new countries but now flags - why not
I can remember "Prince Leonard" of the so-called Hutt River Province, which is somewhere in Western Australia, always seemed to show up at the Royal Melbourne Show many years ago offering dual Australian and Hutt River nationality. He even tried to produce his own currency and stamps. Needless to say they were knocked back - I cannot remember what the Hutt River flag looked like but there is no way one will be ever available. I just checked out the wikipedia link that Atol provided and it is very funny, particularly the bit that says that the Hutt River Province actually declared war on Australia in 1977!

Re: new countries but now flags - why not
right landewi. the example of hutt river is so funny. this part is australian and not something else. also the passport or the currency nobody accept in the world and the stamps are also only for collectors. the danger at this nonsense is, that in other parts of the world , therefore it can be just wars. seperatism peppered with nationalism can be very dangerous. one travel agency offers travel to such "states" because it is a kind of marketing "new country" (for better sell) but the customer needs documents for australia and not for hutt river ;) this example is so funny.....

Re: new countries but now flags - why not
United Nation countries list contein only 193 countries (together with South Sudan).
Flag counter 235 - 192 = 43
43 = dependent territory (even no all), special territory etc.
In flag counter list we accept for example French Saint Martin (small north part Saint Martin island)
We accept also Isle of Man, Jersey, Antarctica....
We accept 51 US States (together with Dictrict of Columbia)
For me is no reason no accept Abkhazia, Somaliland, Palestina, Nagorno Karabakh etc.
Even if somebody accept or no accept today de facto are two parts of Cyprus (with normal border)
Seborga or Principality of Hutt River are micronations with own flags
Stamps or coins collectors fully accept Seborga, Hutt River or even Lundy
and even special search
We are internet flag collectors no politicians
We are no better collectors like stamps or coins collectors
Best wishes

Re: new countries but now flags - why not
hrhrhrhrhr, i think you do not understand this. "your" new "countries" are all NOT with domains but the examples saint martin, jersey, isle of man are with OWN domains, mf, je, im and correct in the "country" -list of FC. normaly we must talk about domains and not about countries. isle of man is part of great britain but with own domain and for this reason in the list of FC. saint martin is part of france but also with own domain. palestine (gaza stripe) is in the list of FC with ps
cyprus: cyprus is with the domain .cy and the northern part is without domain and never will get one. sometimes i have visitors from famagusta which is the northern part. they are using maybe internet from turkey because the flag was turkey unknown. sometimes was coming the flag of the republic of cyprus as cyprus unkown.
seborga (<--Italy) is also nonsense, the people are using internet of italy. sealand and graceland the biggest nonsense, no coment.....
the 51 flags of the united states are REGIONAL flags. flagcounter pro offers a lot of countries with regional flags. (Germany: 16 regional flags)
your funny example hutt river is nonsense. this is part of australia, without own domain and not eaven a region of australia like queensland or victoria.
