* De facto state (de facto entity): for unrecognized regions with de facto autonomy.
* Proposed state: proposed name for a seceding sovereign state.
* Proposed autonomous area: for movements towards greater autonomy for an area but not outright secession.
** De facto autonomous government: for governments with de facto autonomous control over a region.
