It's there, but it's not part of the overriding plot line of the PFS campaign... at least not for now. Your PC can't come from there, can't travel to there, it's not in your "actor's contract." :)Let me rephrase that: Numeria exists in Golarion. In PFS, its not used. That is how the campaign is currently run, if you disagree, take it up with Mike Brock.Not used, or doesn't exist? Are we saying that there's just a big flat stretch of snow there? Is it not a nation, and it's divided amongst what should be on its borders? Or are we saying that we just shouldn't talk about it because it's inconvenient?
If it's the former, okay, but where is that written? (Seriously, I want to see it; if the nation has been removed from organized play that's going to be in writing somewhere.)
If it's just inconvenient, I'm going to have to point out that I don't see why gunslingers can be everywhere, and Tengu can flock to the European-flavored nations, but Numeria--which doesn't require new rules, just new flavor--is somehow over the line.
Edit: Also, isn't this exactly HOW one takes up something with the campaign coordinators? Start a thread, get conversation rolling, see if people agree? Mike reads the forums, you know.
While you are correct that you cannot go to Numeria due to a lack of Scenarios/Modules set there, where are you getting the idea that you cannot be from there either?
PFS goes to great lengths to minimize the extend to which there is a "special Golarion" for OP. I would assume that this extends to not excising entire nations from the map for stupid reasons. Are you asserting that I can only include things in my PFS character's backstory which appear in PFS scenarios and modules, because somehow the rest of Golarion does not exist?
Not allowing Numerian sci-fi tech in the wider world of Golarion is one thing, but you have no business telling me that the fluff of my character is illegal, as Chris Mortika eloquently explained above.

Yeah, and considering that they haven't banned the Numerian regional traits, means that you can in fact be from Numeria.

One of my potential future characters is in fact a dark-tapestry oracle (tongues curse) who got his power from growing up next to a Numerian silver mountain. He is on the run from the Technic League, who know that he has been changed by the strange energies that he lived near.
I also want to make an elf from Castrovel to keep up the outer-space theme, but unfortunately the sort of people who object in threads like this would give me a hard time about that.

Sounds cool, for a home campaign. In my home campaign, I have someone from Numeria, and if he wanted to come up with something like this, I’d likely allow it as a masterwork item. In PFS, not so much.
The problem with creating a new material in PFS, is that all materials have specific rules in how they interact with the world. Stone, steel, cold iron, mithril, wood, darkwood, ironwood, adamantium, silver, alchemical silver, bronze, viridium, etc. all have specific rules in how they work, and how they affect the cost of your item.
An alien gravel item, while cool, would have some mechanical effect on the game. Spells like Heat Metal and creatures like Rust Monsters would not be able to affect your sword.
If you want to do this, purchase the weapon as a stone weapon (with all the mechanical changes from Ultimate Combat that stone does to a weapon) and then use fluff for describing what type of stone.
