Partial Recognition

Greenland, a large island in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean that seems to belong to its homeland, is perhaps the most confusing. It is eventually ruled by Denmark, a European country smaller than Iceland and thousands of miles away.

Kosovo, an independent country, declared independence for Serbia in 2008. However, 15 countries, including Madagascar, Suriname, Burundi, and Papua New Guinea, have withdrawn their recognition of Kosovo because of opposition to Serbia. Kosovo is now recognized as an independent organization in 98 of the 193 member states of the United Nations (51%).
