Several geo-political entities in the world have no general international recognition, but they want to be recognized as sovereign states. The degree in which those have de facto control over the teritorry they claim is variable.

Most are subnational regions with an ethno-national identity of its own that have "broken off" (i.e. separated themselves) from their original parent state, and hence they are commonly referred to as "break-away" states. Some of these entities are in effect internally self-governing protectorates that enjoy military protection and informal diplomatic representation abroad through another state to prevent its forced reincorporation into its original state.
