Is the MNS a non-profit organization?
No, and we don’t want to be. Non-profit organizations are guided by their bylaws, but are ultimately governed by the state, province and/or federal government under which it is incorporated. As such, a non-profit organization cannot, under international law, consider itself a sovereign nation. Also, the rules for non-profit organizations are quite specific in that money received by the organization cannot be used to benefit the members of that organization. Any “nation” group or organization that tried to benefit itself in that way would be breaking the law.
