Why are there listed places like Udmurtia (which is a federal subject of Russia, not a country), Vojvodina (autonomous province of Serbia, again, not a country) and breakaway provinces such as Transnistria, Abkhazia, etc... (none of which are recognized as countries by the international comunity)? [[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 11:37, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

:The list includes non-sovereign territories (autonomous republics, etc.), and the republics of Russia can also fall under this definition. Unrecognised countries are still countries, but they can still be considered to be just territories, for those who would not recognise them as states. <small><span style="color:white; background-color:#007FFF">'''X'''</span>[[User:Vuvuzela2010|<span style="color:#007FFF; background-color:white">'''Vuvuzela2010''']]</span><span style="color:white; background-color:#007FFF">'''X'''</span></small> 11:52, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

::So does that mean that we could add Sealand to the list? And the EU is also more of a "country" (it has it's own elected parliament, currency, flag, anthem and it's possible to apply for EU citizenship) than any of those unrecognised territories and autonomous provinces.
