Controversial Countries by Recognition

For this quiz, you have to name every country that, in most senses, is a functional country, but only has limited international recognition. The hint columns show which UN countries either do or don't recognize that country in order of size. Tell me if I missed any. Can you name them all?
For the third one on the list, it is only who recognizes them as the owners of all of China.
Catalonia, Basque country, and Somaliland are not listed due to lack of acknowledgement
Afghanistan is not listed due it's status being so up in the air
