It seems to me that as Corsica is a part of France,
On a political and historical point of view, that's not really true ;-) Corsica has been "bought" to Italy in 1768 (as you can buy an IC-7800), and it has been invaded in 1769 by the French Kingdom forces, killing thousands of people, and destroying what was one of the first democracies in the world. Today, Corsica is governed by "moderate independantists", which aim to re-gain our independance in several domains where we lost it over the years, such as language, mastering of our land, our environment, etc... Corsica is an island of Europe, which claims for respect of its identity. But we are not here to talk about politics ;-)
you should apply to the French coordinator for an allocation that you can then partition and assign further as suits your needs.
We are already in touch with the french coordinators. Because there are two. And two subnets (44.151 and 44.168). I don't ever want to know why. Which one should I use ? Both ? Should I route from one to another ? Should I use dual-adressing in 44.151.x and 44.168.x ? Moreover, there's 300 km of sea between us and France, which may require a lot of dB for a neighbor 5 GHz link :-)
It's hard to justify more than a /24 for 30 people no matter how you subnet it further.
A /24 would be OK, too. The purpose is not to claim for more IPs. The purpose is to ask if a specific subnet can be assigned to Corsica as an independant DXCC country in order to affirm our identity, in the radioamateur world such as in many other domains .
Moreover, we are only 30 people, but we inspired the constitution of the United States of America, HI :-) https://churchmousec.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/the-american-revolution-and-a-...
