Taiwanball, officially known as the Republic of Chinaball, is a semi-recognised island countryball, located in the Western Pacific Ocean and East Asia. It controls the island of Taiwan (formally known as Formosa), along with a few other tiny islands closer to 
Chinaball. Due to being an island, it has no borders, but its closest neighbors are Chinaball to the west, 
Philippinesball to the south, and the Ryukyu Islands of 
Japanball to the east. Taiwanball is fully claimed by the PRCball, who wants to reunify with it by making them the Special Administrative Region of Taiwanball, like 
Hong Kongball and 
Macauball.
Taiwanball is divided into 2 nominal provinceballs, 6 special municipalityballs, 3 provincial cityballs, and 13 countyballs, including its capital 
Taipeiball being one of the municipalityballs located in the North. It has 32,260 km² of clay, making it the 134th largest countryball if you recognise them (ahead of 
Guinea-Bissauball and behind 
Switzerlandball), and it is also the 57th most populous with >23,375,400 people, ahead of 
Sri Lankaball and behind 
Nigerball.
Due to not being a fully recognized countryball, Taiwanball has not been able to join any sort of international organizations. They were temporarily a member of the 
UNball, until it voted to recognise its communist sibling in 1971, 22 years after the Chinese Civil War ended. However, 47 countryballs have non-diplomatic relations and most if not all of them have de facto embassies run by Taiwanball. Most of these countryballs act like they do recognize it, but do not to not cause problems with Chinaball. Only 13 countryballs recognise it today, with that number slowly rising. Taiwanball also has 110 diplomatic missions.
Unlike other unrecognised countryballs, Taiwanball is internationally called an independent countryball, and has a big economy (the 21st biggest by GDP and also by PPP), mainly made up of several kinds of manufacturing, specially electronics and semiconductor (Your electronic devices that you use to read this page most likely has its component produced by it!). Although they used to be a totalitarian martial law country in the past, they later transitioned from a one-party military dictatorship to a multi-party democracy with a semi-presidential system, compared to Chinaball's "Communist" semi-presidential one-party dictatorship.
Taiwanball's birthday is on October 10, known as Double Tenth Day, which is different from other national day celebrations. Double Tenth Day always shows huge military parades, and has been observed since 1949.
History (Island of Taiwan)[edit]
The island of Formosa was born as a 
7ball (unlike all other East Asian balls) until the 1600's, when two separate colonies got their hands over the island. One to 
Dutch Republicball in 1624, and one to 
Spanish Empireball.
They were given the name “Ilha Formosa” or “Beautiful Island” by 
Portugalball. 
Dutch Formosaball anschlussed its 
Spanish sibling and kicked the Spanish in 1642. Formosa, under Dutch rule, leads to mass Han immigration which attracted 
Kingdom of Tungningball (fake Mingball) to occupy it as a base to strike back at 
Qingball, but the former wasn't very successful because Qingball kicked it out and became the new rulers of Formosa. In the 1880s, Franceball took control of areas close to Taipeiball but failed to take clay. USAball also tried but failed miserably.
Many of the Hokkienballs from Qingball's Fujianball province, being the majority of the population right after the Hakka. In May, 1895, the Qingball[1] rulers were kicked out by Republic of Formosaball.
In October 1895, Republic of Formosaball was occupied and annexed by 
the Empire of Japanball. It spent the next 50 years with it.
The Republic of China (1912-1949)[edit]
From 1912, the .png){kind=icon}
Republic of Chinaball was born after killing Qingball.
In 1945, after 
USAball and Republic of Chinaball blew up the Empire of Japanball, Taiwan was given to the care of Nationalist Chinaball. To make sure that its soul would take over its clay without Japanese remnants, Taiwanball shot up much of Formosaball on February 28, 1947, in an incident known as 228. It also invited Mandarin teachers from the mainland to teach the inhabitants of its clay, who were speaking Japanese.
To cement their claims over all of China, Formosa, Tibetball, and even 
Mongoliaball, Taiwanball wrote this in Section I, Article 4 of the Constitution of the Republic of China, 1947, saying "The territory of the Republic of China according to its existing national boundaries shall not be altered except by resolution of the National Assembly".
But 2 years later, its big communist sibling Chinaball soon beat it and took over most of its sibling's clay. It was forced to flee to the island and its seat was stolen by Chinaball.
Even at the island though, it didn't stop its right-wing totalitarian ways and instilled a political repression known as "White Terror" starting from the Feburary 28th incident (228) which killed 18,000-28,000 people. White Terror and repression to against "commies" saw it kill further hundreds and thousands of people on the island until 1987 when Chiang Kai Shek died and his son stopped one-party rule leading to the rise of DPP.
In the 1960s and 70s it highly industrialized and saw huge economic growth known as the Taiwan Miracle.
From late 1970s to 90s, after the Kaohsiung Incident which united the opposition, liberal reforms had transformed Taiwanball from a totalitarian military dictatorship under martial law to a more liberal democracy.
Formosa was completely possessed by the ROC, both fused into today's Taiwanball.
History (ROC)[edit]
Republic of Chinaball (ROCball) was born in 1911 after its parent Qingball died. Its clay, inherited from its parent, had lots of foreign-occupied patches in it. In 1915, 
it almost became another dynastic Chinaball like its parent and ancestors because of president/emperor Yuan Shi-Kai, and this resulted in it having lots of warlord cliques, including Communist-controlled Chinaball/Chinese Soviet Republicball, which both later merged into Chinaball, who would in turn nearly defeat the ROC.
In the 1920s, Nationalist Chinaball had lots of tumours, and diseases fought each other for control of its body. In 1928, it became a Unitary state. Empire of Japanball took advantage of this to expand its territory in East Asia, by taking one of its children, Manchuriaball, and turning it into Manchukuoball in 1931. In 1937, Japanball kidnapped and raped Republic of Chinaball, just as it was beginning to recover from its illnesses.
It's estimated during the rule of KMT, Republic of Chinaball killed 3 - 18 million people due to political repression to the communist rebels. (some of them are innocents but being wrongly regarded as communist).
However, when USAball helped it defeat Japanball in 1945, its rebellious communist sibling, Communist-controlled Chinaball, became Chinaball and injured it in 1949, while it fled to Taiwan Provinceball and was named Taiwanball. Some sources wrongly regard the Republic of Chinaball to die in 1949, when its dead soul supposedly took over Taiwan Provinceball's sould. This is not true, as the Republic of Chinaball was never been eliminated or has died after 1914. Republic of Chinaball is currently alive through recognised until 1971 (when the UN started recognizing Chinaball). It was part of the UN until 1971.
Current Situation[edit]
Taiwanball and its sibling both speak Mandarin, but Taiwanball uses traditional Chinese characters for writing , whereas PRCball uses simplified Chinese characters (except for Hong Kongball and Macaoball). Taiwanball also usually speaks Taiwanese Hokkien (or just Taiwanese/Taiwanese Dialect), which is a Hokkien language but has some European loan words. Both of the brothers differ greatly on their age. Taiwanball is 112 years old, while PRCball is only in its 70s.
According to an opinion poll released by the Mainland Affairs Council taken after the second 2008 meeting, 71.79% of the Taiwanese public supported continuing negotiations and solving issues between the two sides through the semi-official organizations, SEF and ARATS, 18.74% of the Taiwanese public did not support this, while 9.47% of the Taiwanese public did not have an opinion.
In 2015, a poll conducted by the Taiwan Braintrust showed that about 90 percent of the population would identify themselves as Taiwanese rather than Chinese if they were to choose between the two. 8% would like to reunify with PRCball. The rest (2%) did not answer.
PRCball, especially the people of it, sees it differently, they see the situation as an embarrassment and a scar, seeing the situation as a North Korea and South Korea situation where a country's people are split based on politics which's why PRCball wants to reunify. Another, and maybe the more important reason, is, that Taiwanball is officially called "Republic of Chinaball" and Chinaball is officially called "People's Republic of Chinaball". Both sides have laws that only allow the existence of 1 "Chinaball" and therefore both claim the other. Taiwanball also claims Mongoliaball.
Taiwanball is protected by USAball and other allies. This means if PRCball attempts to anschluss it, it would face strong opposition from the allies, meaning that this could lead to countries stopping acknowledging the One China policy, financial sanctions, or the naval blockade of the Malacca Strait. Furthermore, USABall vowed that the US army would fight for Taiwan in a case of Chinese attack.
Most other countryballs (including the USA) don't want to recognize Taiwanball as an independent countryball because they believe that China will stop trading with them, despite Taiwan loving to invest in them. But if you choose between 1.5 billion people to trade with or 23 million, usually one chooses the latter.
When Taiwanball competes in international sports events, it does it under the name 
Chinese Taipeiball, technically not meant to make it seem Chinese, with its Mandarin name being Chunghwa Taipei, which means Taipei of the Chinese ethnic group. But as we discussed earlier, sadly, nearly nobody recognizes Taiwanball as the one and true Chinaball, which means that the "Chinese ethnic group" is a fancy way of saying Chinaball.
In 2020, the Democratic Progressive Party President Tsai Ing-wen of the Pan-Green DPP was elected with a great majority, resulting in Han Kuo-yu's defeat.
