Status changes
Internal status changes
Secession
Will secede (or at least hold a referendum)
Certainly wants to secede
French Polynesia is actively working towards independence from France ; President Oscar Temaru in his September 14 , 2007 election speech indicated he wanted a referendum on independence within 20 years.
For Kashmir , independence may be the only long-term option in its position between India , Pakistan and People's Republic of China . Musharraf might be willing to talk about it.[54]
Nevis actively working towards independence from Saint Kitts and Nevis , referendum to be held. Already held a referendum in 1998, which failed to pass although more than 60% were in favour, since 66.6% were required.
Palestine to become independent from Israel , consisting of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank ; Israel will have to pull out of the West Bank first; reconstruction in the Gaza Strip is currently starting. (ISO code exists.)
Inner Mongolia , Tibet and Uyghuristan /East Turkestan to gain freedom from People's Republic of China sooner or later.
Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic to hold a referendum on independence from Morocco ... hopefully. Morocco has been less than forthcoming, however. Western Sahara enjoys support from Algeria and Spain , among others. (ISO code exists.)
Could secede, insufficient support
Unification/Breakup
If is likely.
Russia is likely to lose some of its more autonomist regions over the next decades, particularily in the North Caucasus and in Siberia .
