I'm sorry, North Korea is in the UN.

This will have all sorts of nasty downsides for national providers and folks that care about optimal routing, but it's the only way that I can see that will allow the Internet to continue to operate over the long term. Tony </snip> What happens to non-member states? What happens to Taiwan, who has not been a part of the UN for decades? Does the island nation of Togo get a prefix, but not Taiwan. Also, what about North Korea? Only South Korea is a member state in the UN. Next thing you know, they'll be trading prefixes for kick-backs . . .
