Mount Athos was added to the DXCC-list when there was a rule regarding ''separate administration'' - that rule is long gone, as far as I remember it was removed back in the late seventies - however regarding the time I may be wrong. But no Indian Tribes with ''separate administration'' can be added to the DXCC-list unless they are either members of the UN, have an allocated callsign block from ITU or have a member society of the IARU. Don't think they can meet any of those requirements - there is little use to discuss ''new ones'' if one are not aware of the DXCC Entity criteria from year 2000. It's easily available in the DXCC-booklet from ARRL.
