Basil Hayden posted:Other people have kind of responded but yeah in terms of "countries that are not in the UN but still have substantial recognition in one form or another" you're looking at Kosovo (recognition by most UN members), Taiwan (recognition by a couple dozen UN members, but de facto relations with a whole lot of other countries), and technically the government of what would be Western Sahara (SADR) if they controlled any of it (recognition by 40 or so UN members). Of course SADR controls basically no territory that it claims even if it has a government, so it's pretty much up there with Palestine in so far as it's a "country". And you can throw in Abkhazia, Northern Cyprus, and South Ossetia if you want "countries" recognized by at least one UN member, and Nagorno-Karabakh and Transnistria if you go transitively and include countries that are recognized by at least one other country where, by definition, all UN members are countries. By this definition, you would exclude Somaliland though.
