Your comment (which I don't disagree with but hear me out) reminds me of something about ARRL and other organization's awards regarding "entities." Is there an actual CONCEPT that guides the determination of an "entity" or is it just moving data points around regarding slicing-and-dicing up geography? For instance, the Kosovo controversy a few years ago was a fairly heated discussion. What underlying concept or "theory" of what entities should be and how to classify them is present? Any?
