Exploring the hidden side of the world map.

The 193 UN Member States form the entirety of the (geo)political world map. In the margins of this international order exist atypical territories: Somaliland in the Horn of Africa, Transnistria in Eastern Europe, or the self-proclaimed micro-state of Liberland. These territories often have a people, a government, and even a currency, but they are not recognized as States in their own right by the international community. At a time when war is returning to Europe, the geopolitics of ghost states shed light on worldwide changes.
