INTRODUCTION

New Countries shows the possibility of some territories being converted into independent countries.

It is made by two lists: the first shows a short term possibility to become independent (up to 10 years) and a long term possibility (in the future). The long term possibility includes the short term one: it means it is the combination of the st% and the lt%, so the lt% is always at least as high as the st%. The second list shows the possibility of some independent countries to join or to be annexed into another country.

It shows a short term possibility (up to 10 years) and a long term possibility (in the future)also with the short and long term possibilities.

There are five ways for a country to disappear in the future:

1-to join another country and make a union with it under the same conditions,in most of the cases with a new country name. The most famous and last case of it was the reunification of Germany.

2-to be integrated (or annexed) into another country. In this case the country which is disappearing becomes a province, or region or autonomous territory of the country which has integrated it. In most of the cases, the country which integrated the other one keeps its original name. The were many cases of it just after the second world war and the colonial era.

3-to be split into new independent countries. 4-to be conquered by another country. The last attempt was the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The last successful case was the invasion of Timor Leste (which has just recovered its independence) by Indonesia.

5-to disappear for natural causes, like the raise of the level of the ocean or another natural disaster.

Since I guess (and hope) that international community will not allow anymore an invasion of a sovereign country, i will not include in this document the possibility of the disappearance of a country caused by the invasion of another country. In that list you will find the name of the country which can disappear, the name of the country which will be unified to or integrated into, the short term possibilities, the long term possibilities and a letter which represents the case of a possible unification (U) or an integration (A for annexation).

Keep in mind this is my point of view. It is the result of my study of these territories. The rank does NOT reflect in any way any preference or bias of the editor toward the status of the territory.

Bhutan to Nepal.

* The Caribbean Union is a fledgling project of integration of some
caribbean countries.

** The LT% also includes the integration to Spain
or to an eventual independent Catalonia.

*** There are some chances that Moldova
might  be split in two parts:
the Transdniestria region which could join Russia
and the romanian speaking Moldova which could
join Romania.

**** There are chances in the case of a split between
Flanders and Wallonia,
that the German small minority will seek an integration to Germany or follow
one of the two new countries (likely the Flanders).
Note:Belgium is also listed amongst the countries with a chance to disappear. The difference in having
a secession of Flanders from Belgium
or a split in two countries where the French speaking part (Wallonia) will have a different name is mainly
in the denomination of the latest.
Therefore the country is listed in both lists with the same chance of short and long term independence.
