Yeah, but that’s making up a country. It does not exist. I’m willing to say less than 20 countries recognise it.

It does exist, it is a functioning country, but it's not recognised by any other country. So their situation is just slightly worse than Northern Cyprus, South Ossetia, etc., which have at least one country that recognises them. None of these are "JetPunk" countries by convention.
