Is it any wonder that the rest of the world thinks that the U.S. is
populated by morons?

 I live in the Holy part of Florida, Middleburg. I have a circular driveway
 and one morning each week I conduct a Toot-n-Tell service.  You drive
 through, roll down your window, tell me your sins,  drop few coins in the
 bucket as you depart.
 Seems to me this qualifies as a new entity? (Just the land inside the
 circle) Maybe special call like UN1WX/P.  Calls would be limited to 6, 60
 (Channel one only), and 160 meters PSK-31 (no brags please) and SSTV.
 I would even allow an occasional guest operator. (Special considerations
 given to graduates of Jerry Farwells' School in Lynchburg, Va. and family
 members of Tammy Faye.)
 I would be seeking the ARRL's blessing on this so any honest advice on
 procedures to make this come true is welcome. I have read the DXCC rules
but
 still a little unclear on the proper procedures.
 Oh, I did forget one thing.  Last week during my service, I went into my
 radio room to get one of my congregation members change for a quarter
(25c)
 so he could make a donation. I bumped my desk and my radio fell to the
 floor.  It was broken. My friend has unable to repair the radio.  So I
will
 need a new one donated.

 Hope to hear your TOOT soon!
 A possible NEW one!

Finally, we have seen a sensible answer to this. I'm surprised by many of the
answers (and responses to Ron) that our DX community hasn't got it yet!

 Something in Mount Athos is Holy - or is going to be in the
 eternity - but can a ''council'' really be Holy ???

  Only the Holy Council gives the licenses and Monk Apollo is not either
a
  member in Holy Council

  It seems to me that Mt. Athos belongs not to Greece but to the Holy
  Council.  I guess we'll have to live with it.
 
  We could still send him a radio, though, couldn't we?
