The independence of this land was accepted by some countries at some point; But it is not yet officially recognized as an independent country. The area is separated from the eastern part with a belt of land mines and military fortifications.

However, only the two non -member states of the United Nations have recognized it, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. However, President Transnistria has his own laws and structure.

This small, landlord area, which is very dependent on Russian donations, is bordering with Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova; However, the international community considers it part of the Moldova.

The Republic of China, best known as Taiwan, considers itself a country apart from the People’s Republic of China; But it is not officially a country. Taiwan was independent until the seventeenth century until it became the Dutch colony and then became China’s dominance. Taiwan Island was transferred to Japan in the year 9, after China’s defeat in the first China -Japan War. The Republic of China was formed in year 6 and after Japan’s surrender at the end of World War II, it was recognized as the only Chinese government; A government that was merely governed by Taiwan Island with the support of countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

Since the advent of Mao Zedong and the Communist empowerment, the gap between the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China continues, and Taiwan’s position as an independent country is vague. At present only five countries have recognized the Republic of China, and Taiwan’s efforts to join the United Nations have failed. China’s current President Xi Jinping continues to emphasize his intention to re -unite with Taiwan; While the US State Department has promised to defend Taiwan if necessary.
