Answer to common objections

ObjectionOfficial response
“Not a UN member” Correct, by Charter Art. X. Bilateral recognition by Austria and Germany is documented (1952/1953; reaffirmed 2001).
“Not on Google Maps / OSM as a country” Treaty of Seefeld Art. 3 requires cartographic non-depiction. See Data Territory Act 1999.
