I say that should be an option. It has been recognized as a country in multiple treaties, and it has it's own national lacrosse team. that totally constitutes a country.

Could you tell us where that is? I haven't really heard of it... And has it been recognized by United Nations? It's not in their list, therefore it isn't really counted...

No offense, but it seems you are the only person who knows of it on this site (do you live there?).

What treaties?

The Iroquois now live in what is the United States of America. They are officially under the US government. The confederacy as an independent state is no more.

You can't have flags displayed here if they aren't recognized by the UN as sovereign states

The flags of Abkhazia, Transnistria, Somaliland, Nagorno-Karabakh and all the other unrecognized states/micronations throughout the world could be included, but then again they aren't officially recognized by the UN.

How do you know so much about this place? And like they said, I don't think the UN has reconized them as a country so it isn't a flag.

They live in a park along with the U.S nuclear waste (Whih is pretty sad...)

Which as I pointed, it isn't.

From what I've seen, the smallest country in the world is Vatican City... No wait, the UN doesn't recognize it... Battle with the Church!

He said he lives there. But even if you live on tribal territory, you're still in the US.

The Holy See merely has observer status in the UN, but it is recognized as sovereign in international law.

Haha, but not so.

Other countries have their own sports teams, but they aren't countries.

The Principality of Sealand Is also recognised as a country. they even have their own currency, and multiple sports teams including kung fu, and mini golf. They should also be included.

I don't remember which, but the US does use one Indian park as a depot for radioactive waste.

I don't see how a lacrosse team makes a country. Otherwise I could just make a soccer team and all myself 'The united dictatorship of Ulimitedpower'.

Could I be part of the team then? Please? =D

I think what Corneth is suggesting is a viable question, but it will most likely become a world politics issue over time with questions raised such as:

-What are countries? -Should only those recognized as sovereign by international law be called countries? -Should also those that have a population, a flag and a national anthem be recognized as countries? -Should the people that live there first, have the rights to name the country and have all benefits included with that right? Etc...

I think this thread should be placed in the World Events, Politics, Religion, Etc. Forum... because that's what this discussion is leading to...

What treaties?


the Iraqouis Confederacy has been recognized in
1. The Two Row Wampum Act
2. The Treaty of Lancaster
3. The Treaty of Fort Stanwix
to name a few

The Principality of Sealand Is also recognised as a country. they even have their own currency, and multiple sports teams including kung fu, and mini golf. They should also be included.

The Principality of Sealand is A SHELLING PLATFORM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN.
Other countries have their own sports teams, but they aren't countries.

I believe that you just contradicted yourself.

'The united dictatorship of Ulimitedpower' Isn't registered with the FIL

I asked for a Serbian flag about six months ago and nothing. Flags aren't getting updated any time soon.

The web developers have been slow on everything. I figure when they do get around to doing something, you should ask them directly.

I believe that you just contradicted yourself.


Somaliland and other unrecognized states have sports teams, but they still aren't countries because they are not internationally recognized. By the way, Somaliland is registered with the NF Board, a football/soccer league for unrecognized countries/states.

You are talking about the International Luge Federation, because that is what comes up when I search the term "FIL"?

1. The Two Row Wampum Act
2. The Treaty of Lancaster
3. The Treaty of Fort Stanwix
to name a few


I can't find anything on the first, but the second and third treaties were signed so long ago that they don't hold any validity.

Andthere are about 7,334,935 people in Serbia..... I agree with serbia getting a flag cos it's a country. But at the end of the day there are more important things for AG to deal with (though I must say it si pretty glitch free at the moment). Although there is an obvious difference between the Iroquois "country" and micronations like seaworld and "Lovely" (which has 50,000 members) I think if you let one have it's own flag then we're gonna end up with requests for them all etc.
