Not to be the negative party here again, BUT the DPD and myself - see it would seem to be almost NO chance of Talossa joining the UN or the UNPO.
The UNPO has for example these criteria to be filled and answered:
a) a brief history of the Nation or People;
b) the reasons for the desire to become a Participant in the Organization;
c) adequate evidence of the recognition of the Representative Body as an organ of leadership by the people it claims to represent;
d) a formal declaration of adhesion to the present Covenant and the principle of non-violence;
e) evidence of the democratic character of the Representative Body’s leadership structure;
f) the statute of the Representative Body;
g) the latest annual financial- and activity report of the Representative Body.
h) payment of the application fee
Can Talossa complete these application requirements, not to mention part H, the payment of the application fee.
It seems when there was discussion on minting coins, it seemed like a big obstacle - will Talossan citizens be willing to pay for the application fee now - not even knowing how much it is. I would speculate it to be in many thousands of dollars if not more...
I therefor call on our esteemed government, and the Prime-minister in particular to answer these points, as well as the our esteemed Ministers in charge of Foreign Affairs and our Finances.

Identifying ourselves first and foremost as a people and a nation rather than as a state, it seems more incumbent on us to become a culturally discrete unit.

I've always preferred the UNPO route.
