Technically west bank and Taiwan are Territories not recognized as countries...


They are under dispute.


Also places like Puerto Rico are Territories governed by another country. (US)!

Taiwan and Gaza comes to my mind. They are not recognised as countries and millions of people live there.

I actually think such places do exist, places like:
- Antarctica – No country owns it, but scientists and support staff live in research stations year-round.
- Northeast Greenland National Park – Technically part of Greenland, but has no permanent residents and is used seasonally.
- Devon Island, Canada – The world’s largest uninhabited island, but occasionally used for research.
- Sealand – A platform off the UK coast that claims to be a sovereign nation.
- Transnistria – A breakaway region from Moldova with its own government and population.
- Somaliland – Declared independence from Somalia, but isn’t internationally recognized.
- La Rinconada, Peru – The highest permanent settlement on Earth.
- Coober Pedy, Australia – Residents live underground to escape desert heat.


Others are territories

Geography. Those places are with forests, deserts, mountains or completely frozen and covered with snow.

The sooner Nigeria breaks apart the better. Otherwise it will become inhabitable like those places painted in red.

Re: Is There Any Place In This World Where People Live That Is Not A Country? by oz4real83(m): 12:55pm On Jul 22, 2025
Antarctica is one of such places, countries just lay claim to some parts, but not for anybody. You can't even prospect for oil there, solely for scientific researches.

Re: Is There Any Place In This World Where People Live That Is Not A Country? by lalabrother: 12:59pm On Jul 22, 2025
Kashmir, Puerto Rico e.t.c

These places are just provinces owned by other countries.

I believe your question is about a place where no one can claim and you could just move to without hassle. The closest term I've found to that is Terra Nullius.

Apparently there are only 3 territories in the world but the good news is if you are thinking of moving, there is one in Africa.

You are very correct in your opinion, number one example of those who doesn’t have Nationhood in them are those who will see an incompetent person and still vote for them to be in office based on religion or tribalism, majority of the people who voted for Tinubu knew he wasn’t capable enough to rule the country but the voted for him based on tribalism and religion sentiments, such people can be refers to as people without patriotism.

Mars.
A country is a nation with its own government occupying territories .
It's ridiculous to see people mention taiwan, Taipei and Gaza.
