Chinese Taipei

Chinese Taipei is a fake country made up by Taiwan so that they could participate in the Olympic Games without pissing the PRC off. 
==History==
When the Communists took over China, the Chinese government (ROC) fled to Taiwan. However, they forgot to change their name from "Republic of China" to "Republic of Taiwan", so the PRC told the International Olympic Committee to not let Taiwan participate in the Olympic Games. Taiwan wanted to be in the Olympics so badly, so ultimately, the IOC felt bad for them and let them into the games, but only if they made up a fake country name, flag, and anthem. This is how Chinese Taipei was created.
