Unique quiz; thanks!

A couple of English spelling points…it's separate (not seperate, even though it sounds like it), and for 'confusment' I'm guessing you meant 'confusion'. Minor errors, obviously, but you seem like the kind of person who'd want to know. :)

Finally, would Abkhazia fit your criteria for this quiz?

Thanks! I am planning on doing another large update on this quiz, and in that case I may add Abkhazia.

China is in the unique position of defending against four countries in various provisional stages - Tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau - and attempting to keep them in their territory. Fun times...

Realistically, the only one of these that could be considered a country is Taiwan. Taiwan has its own government, currency, capital, etc. and functions as a country. Hong Kong and Macau are Special Regions of China. They have different laws and are more democratic, (although in China other "normal" Chinese cities also hold local elections, so I guess it is comparable). Also, websites such as YouTube and Facebook are allowed in Hong Kong and Macau, although VPN's make it easy to access these websites in the mainland. On the other hand, Tibet may be autonomous, but it is nowhere near independence. The resistance movement, often glorified in the Western Countries, is very weak. Xinjiang, and to a lesser extent, Inner Mongolia, also have independence movements, but there is no chance for them to be countries.

Movement from local politicians at least in Corsica and Åland. Unlikely, but you never know these days.

Also, Transnistria is living quite an independent life for the moment.

Actually, I don't think that Veneto could ever become independent. Independentist movements in Italy are more like a folkloristic thing than an actual political project. Only some old half-mad people really consider the possibility of a secession in Veneto, Sardinia or Sicily. They talk more seriously about autonomy than independence.

Veneto is definitely the odd one out here. Some of the other contenders are exceptionally unlikely, like Tibet or Crimea, but at least they have proper independence movements. In retrospect I wouldn't include Veneto.
