Proposed State: Republic of Taiwan

The Republic of Taiwan (臺灣共和國;
Taiwanese: Tâi-oân Kiōng-hô-kok) is a goal of Taiwan independence in creating a Taiwanese state unambiguously separate from China, covering (at most) the areas currently controlled by the Republic of China (i.e., Taiwan, Penghu, Quemoy and Matsu Islands). In this sense, sometimes the State of Taiwan (臺灣國) is used to avoid prejudging a republican polity. See also: political status of Taiwan
