Yes I do, but only for countries which are already taken (Netherlands, Germany, UK, USA, Finland and Sweden). Do you have problems with it?

Use a song from the suggestion thread if you are struggling for songs

The hosts have had a few discussion about countries and entries and we have unfortunately agreed that St. Eustatius will be unable to compete. 

I'm sorry willsong but in terms of hosting and size the country wouldnt realistically be able to compete.

I hope you understand.

I'm sorry but I don't understand that size matters that much. You can't say it's because it's small and not independent. Like Aland, a long time participant, or a borrowing British Virgin Islands, or St. Helena (which is the same freaking size as St. Eustatius and can participate) has any arena big enough to host and are independent. If you kick them out as well I would be fine with it, but now I think you're applying double standards. I think the only reasonable choice could be all territories in or all territories out. (Of course I would like all territories in  ). It isn't like one dependent territory is more legitimate to enter with than another.
Can't there be a solution like in Eurovision, that countries too small to host can take their edition to another country.
In this way, small territories will never be able to show their music to the world, and that's a bloody shame.
And it's also quite strange to first get an okay of 2/3 of the hosting team and later on get to hear that the entry is refused after all.

Anyway, I'm gonna bug you with another small country, which is independent btw.

Antigua & Barbuda confirms (or is this too small to host as well) with:

If you didn't notice yet, I'm a bit angry. But you're the hosts, so I'll adapt to you.

Thank you for your opinion as it is valid and I agree I would love every territory and country to compete 

however the issue then arises with who will take the micro nation if they ever won

no one took Mali after they one and no one took New Zealand after they won too I Had to take the country. For a nation like St.Eustacius to compete the amount of original songs must be very limited and I firmly believe the winning nation and top 3 countries from the previous competition must complete. It would make more sense. 

Also so as you stated the British Virgin Islands and Åland Islands have competed in the contest before they have wiki data  and official IOC codes as well and would make sense for them to compete. The borrowing rules would not work for St.E as that would then open the gates for every other Dutch territory to compete and then is it fair for 5/10+ nation to borrow from the Netherlands. We would have a problem like San Marino and Vatican City 2 nations borrowing from the same place.

i have adapted and tagged everyone with the new rules and eligible countries  for the time being I will stick with them. 

I will think on your ideas thank you

I never stated I wanted territories to borrow, in fact I do not. Original songs might be hard to find, but it is possible.
Btw, Aland does not have an IOC code, but does have an ISO code.
So, for the future, I can take any country with an existing ISO code?

As for the who will take the micronation, you can let the winner keep his country, I think you've done that before.
