A vast desert territory claimed by both the Moroccan government and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. Known as SADR for short, this unrecognised state claims a much larger territory than it currently controls (territory controlled by SADR is what is marked in stripes on the map, this isn't the whole territory). A long sand wall/berm delineates the line of control. Western Sahara was colonised by Spain up until 1975, and thus Spanish is official.
