Other entitiesExcluded from the list above are the following noteworthy entities which either were not fully sovereign or did not claim to be independent: - Antarctica as a whole had no government and no permanent population. Seven states claimed portions of Antarctica and five of these had reciprocally recognised one another's claims.[19] These claims, which were regulated by the Antarctic Treaty System, were neither recognised nor disputed by any other signatory state.[20]
- {{Flag|East Timor|1975}} was invaded by Indonesia in 1975 and forcibly annexed into it in 1976, but this was not recognized by the United Nations.
- {{flag|Estonia}} was incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1940, but the legality of the annexation was not widely recognized. The Baltic diplomatic services in the West continued to be recognised as representing the de jure state.
- {{flag|Latvia}} was incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1940, but the legality of the annexation was not widely recognized. The Baltic diplomatic services in the West continued to be recognised as representing the de jure state.
- {{flag|Lithuania|1918}} was incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1940, but the legality of the annexation was not widely recognized. The Baltic diplomatic services in the West continued to be recognised as representing the de jure state.
- The Saudi–Iraqi neutral zone was a strip of neutral territory between Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
- {{flagdeco|Sovereign Military Order of Malta}} The Sovereign Military Order of Malta was an entity claiming sovereignty. The order had bi-lateral diplomatic relations with a large number of states, but had no territory other than extraterritorial areas within Rome.[21] The order's Constitution stated: "The Order is a subject of international law and exercises sovereign functions." [22] Although the order frequently asserted its sovereignty, it did not claim to be a sovereign state. It lacked a defined territory. Since all its members were citizens of other states, almost all of them lived in their native countries, and those who resided in the order's extraterritorial properties in Rome did so only in connection with their official duties, the order lacked the characteristic of having a permanent population.
- {{flagdeco|Berlin}} West Berlin was a political enclave that was closely aligned with, but not actually a part of, West Germany. It consisted of three occupied sectors administered by the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.
