Trying to supercede a peer's functionality because you don't like the way they operate is not a very good idea, I don't think, if you want to coexist with them.  This is exactly the behaviour of ICANN that OpenNIC was created to escape, or such is my (perhaps niave?) understanding.

Being honest, I can clearly see why Liberland decided to go with us instead of New Nations. New Nations doesn't seem to have the decentralized control of T1 servers we have, so they wouldn't be able to host their own zone. And looking through New Nation's forums, there seem to be a lot of requests that have been open for years, dating back to and before 2011. The legitimacy of those requests are indeed questionable, but I can see why someone on a slightly faster agenda than "whenever," would be interested in just going with us directly as we have a larger user base.

I completely agree with spaesani's approval. I think it would be best to allow country-hopefuls to apply directly with us with the understanding that IF a country that isn't theirs is created with the same two letter code, they'll have to give up their rights to the zone, and IF they are accepted as a country they have to give all OpenNIC domain holders the domains they had on the new ICANN delegated zone. I think those policies would be fair for any countries hoping to get a TLD on OpenNIC.

Maybe a policy change should be proposed...
