So how does that explain the omission of New Zealand, Harry? We have a population of over 4 million, and we are a more independent sovereign state than the Isle of Man - heck, we even refuse to allow the USA or any other country to send their nuclear weapons and ships into our territorial waters.
I don't think your argument has validity - there must be other reasons for ignoring certain nation states.
