I'm appalled Mexico is so low tbh. They're better than that.

What do you think about other territories like Sint Maarten, Turks and Caicos, Carribean Netherlands, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Montserrat and Falkland Islands to be allowed to participate? Of course for some of them without borrowing it will be almost impossible to take part, but I think Sint Maarten or Carribean Netherlands can get some singers as well, and most of them have a bigger population than Anguilla who has already participated before. But it can also be hard for people to find singers from there, as there are already enough countries who are currently participating with lack of singers...

Very interesting question as always, Mihai. My opinion: a while ago I made some research and I actually found 1 singer from Montserrat (born there, currently living in the Uk) and some singers from Turks and Caicos. However, I didn’t find anything from Falkland Islands. You could: a) allow all of them without borrowing, considering that some of them will eventually run out of singers (aka Montserrat, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Pierre and Miquelon etc...); b) introduce the very first borrowing rules in OAmSC history, allowing them to borrow from one country songs with a very low views limit (i.e. <200,000). Some of them could borrow from other Caribbean countries or countries on the American continent, e.g. Saint Barthélemy could borrow from Guadeloupe (considering that the island split from Guadeloupe in 2003), could borrow from Bahamas, Saint Pierre and Miquelon from Québec (with some restrictions) and so on; c) introduce strict borrowing rules and allow them to borrow only once every 3/5/7 editions. There would also be another, less important, problem: some of them don’t have a ‘fancy’ flag icon like , which would mean either making it using Photoshop or using other flag designs in the recap videos.

I’m fine to allow all countries + territories to participate as long as they don’t borrow. Nearly all contests have some sort of borrowing rule and that’s why OASC and OAMSC are my favourite contests because they don’t really allow it. A lot of the countries above only have a few singers though and may eventually run out. I’ve only ever found 1 singer from the Falkland Islands but he’s dead. I guess all could participate but the player would be faced with a very tough task finding good songs.

Thanks for the feedback so far, and how could I forget American Samoa and Guam... They are technically located in Oceania, but I think OASC is already getting full with countries, and if they would join there it would be a mess. But they are more related to USA than to Asia, so maybe they should be allowed here instead? What do you think?

I think American Samoa and Guam should be allowed to participate in OAmSC as: a) they’re US territories and have the same legal status as Puerto Rico, USVI (unincorporated organized territories ( American Samoa being unofficially considered as one)); b) they would be too weak to compete in OASC, since they would have to qualify in semifinals against China, Taiwan, India and other big music industries. Obviously, borrowing should not be allowed as both of them have decent music industries.
