Notes

1.

Cusco city was declared by the art. 49 of the Peruvian Constitution as "Historical

Capital" (in Spanish Capital Histórica), a statement merely symbolic.

The sovereignty over the Spratly Islands is disputed by the PRC, the ROC,

Vietnam, the Philippines (part), Malaysia (part), and Brunei (part). Except Brunei, each

of these countries occupies part of the islands (see List of territorial disputes).

3. In 1949, the Republic of China government led by the Kuomintang (KMT)

lost the Chinese Civil War to the Communist Party of China (CPC) and set up a

provisional capital in Taipei. The CPC established the People's Republic. As

such, the political status of the ROC and the legal status of Taiwan (alongside

the territories currently under ROC jurisdiction) are in dispute. In 1971, the

United Nations gave the China seat to the PRC instead of the ROC: most states

recognize the PRC to be the sole legitimate representative of all China, and the

UN classifies Taiwan as "Taiwan, Province of China". The ROC has de facto

relations with most sovereign states. A significant political movement within

Taiwan advocates Taiwan independence.
