#3 Getting a little paranoid now, arent they?
If they knew about the ballistic missile submarines we sent to the straights they would probably go off their rockers.

#4 OK, fine. Put Taiwan as "China (legal government)" and the mainland as "China (occupied by communists)."

#5 Interesting fact:

In Japan in the 1990s, I was looking at a map that had the 4 northern territories in a different color from the one used for Russia.

Hey, no problem, the Japanese claim those as their own from centuries back, no big deal, I thought.

Then I noticed that the whole southern half of Sakhalin was the same non-Russian color...
