REPUBLIC OF ESLO
The NLAP has made this list of macronations that have signed the Ottawa Treaty.  You may consider that Eslo is on the list, but we did not wish to include ourselves in a macronational list.  Please help to encourage those countries that have not signed to join Eslo and the other nations in our ongoing efforts towards a mine-free world.
