Scope
This WikiProject aims to add, organize, fill out, and provide a standard format for articles about those regions in the world which have declared independence, and maintain a de facto sovereignty, but are conspicuously unrecognized in international circles. Many of these have very poor articles, or no articles at all, and many lack depth, without articles on key figures.
Fictional countries, or micronations are excluded. Only those entities claiming to be a country which exercise military control over territory will be included.
Target areas
- Abkhazia (Georgia) (1993)
- Republic of Kosovo (Republic of Serbia, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) (1990)
- Kurdistan (Republic of Iraq) (1970)
- Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Iraq, Syria) (January 3, 2014)
- Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (Armenia/Azerbaijan) (January 1992)
- Palestine (Israel) (1988)
- Somaliland (Somalia) (1991)
- South Ossetia (Georgia)
- Transnistria (Moldova)
- Taiwan (China)
- Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (Cyprus) (1983)
- Western Sahara (Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic) (Morocco) (1976)
Some coverage of relevant theory would be nice, as well as prominent leaders, cities and other areas of note within these regions.
