oy.
A state has to declare itself independent, and then maintain defacto independence, to be considered de jure independent.
Palestine is an authority.
Taiwan considers itself the Rep of China, but few nations recognize it as such, cause the PRC de facto is the govt of the mainland, and has been for 66 years, and asserts itself as such.
If Taiwan were to declare itself independent as the Republic of Taiwan, and the PRC were not to do anything about it, Taiwan would be entitled to recognition as a state. Which is why, the day Taiwan does so, PRC will go to war, and Taiwan knows that, which is why they have NOT declared independence, and have pursued alt strategies.
Similarly, if the PA declared independence, and Israel did nothing, Palestine would then become a state. And of course if PA did that, and declared borders that Israel found ok, the Israelis (most of them) would be delighted. But of course its more like that a unilateral dec of ind by the PA would be on the basis of boundaries Israel would not accept - so a UDI by PA would be followed by a unilateral annexation of certain areas by Israel, and would result in war. PA has thus far not chosen this course.
Ergo, under international law NEITHER "Palestine" nor "Taiwan" exist as such. But both issue passports, and IIUC nations around the world accept such passports.

That certainly brings up another valid question.

Can I become independantSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

As I understand it now, you don't have to have a country issue a passport. You can set up a club and the club can issue a passport.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

No.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

You can print up passports saying the Republic of Slowwhand, its a free country you know.Originally posted by SlowwHand
What do you mean, No?
The question is, when youre crossing from Upper Fredonia, to Lower Slobovia, are they gonna recognize the document and let you in. For a variety of reasons, political and economic, Lower Slobovia probably accepts a Pal Auth passport, and a Republic of China/Taiwan passport, even though it doesnt recognize either as a state. OTOH they probably WONT recognize a Republic of Slowwhand passport.
