Taiwan Country Quiz

I've heard Kuomintang more often than Nationalist Party but then I'm not from the English-speaking world.

In English it is usually Kuomintang too.

Tea with cheese.

You sneaky little thing, you. :D

seems to be an acceptable type-in, now

+Citronnier Taiwan's constitution says that Taiwan is part of China, but that the ROC is the legitimate government. "China" is an entity greater than any party.

Fun fact: Taiwan also holds the original copy of the Treaty of Nanjing, meaning that Taiwan legally owns Hong Kong. But that isn't real, just like whatever the UN says.

but the moon is made of cheese. also it mentions in lots of documents that it's part of chine

China as a region, not as a country. Taiwan claims itself as "the sole legitimate government over Mainland China and Taiwan."

The funny thing is that most Taiwanese would be happy to "relinquish their claim" to the mainland and simply concern themselves with their own independence. And if China simply admitted that a place with its own president, currency, military, immigration, passport, etc. was an independent country and let them live freely, then they could easily court Taiwan into their "diplomatic sphere". Instead, they threaten to "blow up Taiwan" and with their threats drive the majority of the people away from them into the arms of the USA and Japan.

@Quizmaster To classify things, you need to have clearly defined categories. "Cheese" is a fairly well classified category, however, a country isn't.

@Douglas216 - Weird then that China -- by which I assume you mean the People's Republic of China -- has no governmental control at all there, gets no taxes from them or cut of their GDP, and uses a different currency.

yeah, seems pretty well alienated to me

thanks quizmaster

punctuation never matters on jetpunk

Now regarding the United Nations, we need to talk about how nations are admitted. The United Nations Security Council is responsible for admitting members. There are 5 permanent members, the United States of America, the Russian Federation, the Republic of France, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the People's Republic of China. One note to add is that the Republic of China (now Taiwan) was part of this before the Chinese Civil War. Now there are 10 non-permanent members, but what I'm here to focus on is that the admissions for countries. Let's pretend an unrecognized country (Taiwan, Palestine, Kosovo) needs more than 60% of the big 5 to agree on admission to become a country. If Taiwan were to admit, most likely everyone would vote no for prior reason, but let's say that they vote via relations with Taiwan. It will probably go like this.

Favorable: United States, United Kingdom, France.

Unfavorable: Russia, China

60% majority, not enough to pass through.
