States With Limited Recognition

This quiz covers states that are recognized by some but not all UN member countries. Can you name the countries that support each one?
Niue and Cook Islands not included, it is unclear which countries are actually against their recognition.
Kosovo not included because about half of countries recognize it, meaning you'd have to name 100 countries!
Note: under the One China Policy, every country that recognizes Taiwan does not recognize China

I more or less gave up on making this quiz good because the format wasn't as engaging as I expected. It ended up just being a test run for image embeds
