Hi Avri,
At least they're big enough to have their own parliament, "Sameriksdagen"....;-)

Hi,

One data-point on community size.

I have been working on infrastructure projects for the last 10 with the Sámi 
people years who are an indigenous semi-nomadic population that lives in the 
northern most regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula in 
Russia.  

This community is estimated at 80,000 - 135,000.  I always assumed that they 
were a large enough 'community' to apply for a TLD.  I think they assumed that 
as well.
