||
| ## <states-list>The following countries are non-UN member states recognized by the WCA: | ||
|
|
||
| - (TW:_Asia) Taiwan | ||
| A fully self-governing autonomous region and was represented as the Republic of China (ROC) at the UN until 1971 when the People's Republic of China (PRC) assumed China's seat. | ||
| Currently has recognition as a country by 20 UN member states. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| - (XK:_Europe) Kosovo | ||
| Declared independence from Serbia in February 2008. | ||
| Currently has recognition as a country by 115 UN member states as of February 27th, 2017. | ||
|
|
||
| - (HK:_Asia) Hong Kong | ||
| Is formally known as Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. It is a fully autonomous region and maintains a separate political and economic system from China aside from its foreign affairs. | ||
| Due to Hong Kong's long history in the WCA and large community, it is recognized as a separate entity to China within the WCA. | ||
|
|
||
| - (MO:_Asia) Macau | ||
| Is formally known as Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. | ||
| It is functionally identical to Hong Kong, as so we treat it the same way as Hong Kong within the WCA. |
