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.
