#1 Its news to me that the UN can issue passports. In fact I reasonably sure they can't. What they can do is issue travel documents to stateless persons.

While googling this I came across this gem. In exchange for a 'donation' you can get a diplomatic pasport from these entities, SDG (USD 50.000 to USD 5.000.000 and they can have you made an ambassador to or from any major country with complete immunity),
The Holy See of Antioch (Consul-General, Consul or Vice-Consul, which are needed everywhere. The promised donation from USD 10.000), The Sovereign Military Order of Malta (only USD10.000).

Can someone elighten me as to who SDG are?

#6 Cheers for the link, Phil_B,! (Within your gem). Now I can get a Rhodesian Camoflauge Passport and prepare to re-enter from Mocambique. Believe me, the last thing anyone would have wanted is a Rhodesian Passport. Anyway, most times we didn't need one, did this

instead.
