haha, well, as you know to many Texans, leaving the Union is still an option!

I can’t talk to you anymore. Don’t you know that rest of the world doesn’t matter? 😉

Thank you Barbara and absolutely agree. It’s easy to say from the outside, oh, well they should simply be given complete independence. At least I think that’s the most common response when outsiders hear about these unrecognized places – the problem is the vast amount of complexities and divergent interests…and to think, in many ways it’s the easy part of a nation’s evolution.

I would bet that Tibet is the best known unrecognized state in the world, but I had no idea there were 40 others. The Christiana situation is somewhat bizarre to say the least, but I suspect that in every instance it is hard for even insiders to fully understand the complexity of the situation, much less outsiders. Appreciate your inside knowledge.

As for Cyprus, I think ultimately it will become two autonomous regions managed by some sort of central government. Though all sides seem to be pulling in different directions at the moment.

Didn’t make it to Spiseloppen but will next time. It’s one of the most interesting places (Christiania) I’ve been in Copenhagen – certainly more interesting than the Little Mermaid! Thanks for the tips and letting me know about Transdniestr, something I’ll be reading more about.
