NOTES
AT — Allodial title claim (claims owned by the nation/micronation, independent of any superior landlord).
LT — Land tenure claim (claims are recognised to a superior landlord which is not the protector/user nation or micronation, but the land can still be used for the purpose of environmental protection or rehabilitation, benign or nonexploitive use, or for the purpose of non-destructive scientific research, and this would allow the nation or micronation to fulfill its protectorate function, or benign user function towards the island and/or land claim).
GPGPT — Great Pacific Garbage Patch Treaty (claim recognised on 7 January 2011).
MOGPT — Multi-Oceanic Garbage Patch Treaty (claim recognised on 23 June 2011).
SDT — Space Debris Treaty (claim recognised on 26 June 2011).
OEAS — Organization of Emerging African States (Geyser Reef claim recognised on 14 September 2011; other claims recognised on 5 May 2012).
CTT — Cyberterra Treaty (claim recognised since 30 March 2012).
AATS — Anti-Antarctic Treaty System (claim recognised on 9 October 2012).
Africa* — formerly Antarctica, but currently claimed by Africa.
N.B. — Adélie Land (which the UMMOA has renamed Terra Firma or Terra Fabiana) is Antarctic territory that is claimed by France as one of five districts of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. However, not all nations have given this claim diplomatic recognition. France's sovereignty is not recognised internationally over this claim. So outside of the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS) rationale, Adélie Land is actually just another disputed claim. It should also be noted that ATS claims do not signify de jure recognition. These are all de facto claims, so the Antarctic Treaty does not enjoy the status of customary international law. It should also be noted that customary international law is based on a theory of State consent, and if a State consistently objects to a rule of customary international law, it will not be bound by it. The UMMOA does not accept Antarctic Treaty claims, and would be free to do so even if the Antarctic Treaty were a rule of customary international law, which it is not.
COMMENTS
- The City
of Cyberterra (CT) was founded as a metrosite or
virtual realm. Later the City of Cyberterra also acquired a
geographical consistency, and became the world's first
cybernetic realm (or κυβερνήτης – kyvernítis).
- The Fifth World Community (5WC) is an inhabited locality, and the world's first diaxenospitia. A diaxenospitia is a "collection of houses or buildings scattered around the world, and treated like a distributed town or city."
- These eleven claims are recognised by the OEAS: Aphrodite Island, Geyser Reef, Bassas da India, Europa Island, the Glorioso Islands, Juan de Nova Island, Tromelin Island, Amsterdam Island, Saint Paul Island, Crozet Islands, and Kerguelen Islands.
- The OEAS also recognises these islands or archipelagos as UMMOA protectorates: Mayotte and the Chagos Archipelago.
- Trash or Garbage Islands part of the Multi-Oceanic Garbage Patch (MOGP):
- North Pacific Gyre (Great Pacific Garbage Patch or GPGP, actually made up of two large masses of ever-accumulating trash known as the Western and Eastern Pacific Garbage Patches)
- North Atlantic Gyre (North Atlantic Garbage Patch or Sargasso Sea)
- Indian Ocean Gyre (Indian Ocean Garbage Patch).
It is also possible that there
are trash islands in the other two major gyres, the South
Pacific Gyre and the South Atlantic Gyre. There are also three other minor gyres:
the Beaufort
Gyre (Arctic Ocean), and the Ross and Weddell
Gyre (Southern Ocean gyres).
