Welcome to Disputed Lands. The world is complex and its countries just so. There are different types of countries with varying degrees of independence and interdependence. Some have seats at the United Nations, others do not. Some are self-governing, others reliant on neighbouring or faraway countries to hold them up. Some are unrecognised, some partially-recognised, some disputed and some brand new. Countries are curious idiosyncratic things. This page collates my travels to 'countries' that come with some rather controversial inverted commas.
