Let an agent explain states with limited recognition, relay the concept, criteria of statehood, recognition and consequences from international law and relations sources with all positions attributed, describe the named forms, and distinguish limited-recognition states from fully recognised states, autonomous regions, governments in exile and micronations, without taking sides on any specific case.

What it is Filled
A polity that claims to be a sovereign state and controls territory but is recognised as such by only some or no other states, its status contested in international relations and law, with forms such as self-proclaimed states and historical unrecognized states; the wartime Italian Partisan Republics were resistance-administered liberated areas and should not generally be classified as entities claiming sovereign statehood. Examples and cases are numerous and politically sensitive, so the entry names the concept and treats specific cases neutrally with the positions of the entity, other states and international bodies attributed. Recognition affects membership of organisations, treaties and everyday matters such as passports.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain states with limited recognition, relay the concept, criteria of statehood, recognition and consequences from international law and relations sources with all positions attributed, describe the named forms, and distinguish limited-recognition states from fully recognised states, autonomous regions, governments in exile and micronations, without taking sides on any specific case.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Claims statehood
- Controls territory
- Limited recognition
- Contested status
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Take sides on whether a contested polity is or is not a state.
- Present recognition status as settled when it is disputed.
- Treat states with limited recognition as micronations or jokes.
- Produce maps or documents that misrepresent who controls a territory.
Only with a human decision
- Publishing material on a contested territory for an official or diplomatic audience.
May
- Describe each polity's recognition status as reported by reliable sources, with dates.
- Present the positions of the parties to a dispute fairly and side by side.
Moral aspects Filled
- Recognition decides people's access to passports, trade and international protection.
- Wording on these cases is often used in conflict; careless framing can inflame it.
Who is affected
- Residents of the contested territory
- Neighbouring states and peoples
- Displaced people
Owners Filled
Steward
Nobody owns the status; each recognising or non-recognising state answers for its own position.

Recognition required Filled
- The polity claims sovereign statehood and controls territory but is recognised as a state by only some or no other states.
- Historical unrecognized states and self-proclaimed states may fit this category, while the Italian Partisan Republics were resistance-administered liberated areas rather than generally claims to sovereign statehood.
- Fully recognised states have broad recognition, autonomous regions are within states, governments in exile lack territory, and micronations are not serious state claims.
- Not a physical object; territories with governments and contested status.
