[edit] Scope

This WikiProject aims to add, organize, fill out, and provide a standard format for articles about those regions in the world which have declared independence, and maintain a de facto sovereignty, but are conspicuously unrecognized in international circles. Many of these have very poor articles, or no articles at all, and many lack depth, without articles on key figures. See also: List of unrecognized countries
