List of Rump States - Current

Current

• The Republic of China since the Chinese Civil War in 1950 (Map). See also Political status of Taiwan.
• South Korea from June to September 1950 and January to April 1951, and North Korea from September to December 1950, during the Korean War. Currently both Koreas claim to be the sole legitimate government of the whole peninsula.
• Cyprus since the Cypriot intercommunal violence in 1963 and the proclamation of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in 1983.
• The Sahrawi Republic after the Moroccan invasion of the territories outside the Free Zone in 1976.
• Somalia from the secession and de facto independence of Somaliland in May 1991, with 22% of its area and 43% of its population. Somalia was further reduced by the de facto independence of Puntland. The Somali Federal Government (recognized by the UN) now only retains control over a small area at the centre of the country and a section of the capital. See Somali Civil War.
• Moldova after the secession of Transnistria in the 1990s.
• Georgia since secession of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in the 1990s.
• Azerbaijan after the secession of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic in the 1990s.
• The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (in 2003-2006 State Union of Serbia and Montenegro, now Serbia) after the 1999 United Nations Mission in Kosovo took over administration over its southern autonomous province, Kosovo.
• Since the Fatah–Hamas conflict and 2007 separation between the Palestinian National Authority in the West Bank and the Hamas Gaza Government, they, with the Palestinian Legislative Council, form two rump entities (albeit not states).
• The Sudan, following South Sudanese independence in 2011.
• Mali, following Azawadi independence in 2012.

Many of these result in a state with limited recognition.
