France …
…to decide status of eight overseas departments and territories (French Polynesia and New Caledonia → independence; French Southern and Antarctic Lands, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Wallis and Futuna → unknown).
…to decide on establishment of Département Pays Basque , to secede from Département Pyrénées-Atlantiques at some point in the future. Attempt to gather 45,000 signatures to force a referendum failed in October 2006.[ 45]
Philippines to resolve Bangsamoro issue: Moro Islamic Liberation Front has been fighting for more autonomy or independence for decades.
Russia to reduce number of federal subjects from 83 to between 40 and 50.
United Kingdom to decide status of twelve overseas territories , the Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus and three crown dependencies (technically not even part of the UK, but of the British Crown ).

Australian Northern Territory to become a state .[ 52]
Canada : Proposals for new Canadian provinces and territories .
Tokelau rejected free association with New Zealand in a referendum in February 2006 and in another one in October 2007 (a majority of around 60% was in favour, but not the required supermajority of 66.6%). Will be voted on again in the future.[ 53]
Cook Islands and Niue could become factually independent from New Zealand any time they wish by joining the United Nations as Palau , the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia did.
Sudan likely to be restructured: East Sudan Peace Agreement of 2007 with Eastern Front in Al Qadarif , Kassala and Red Sea ; Darfur Peace Agreement to be enforced and possibly renegotiated, with a referendum on amalgamation to be held.
Denmark Rigsfællesskabet to break apart in the long run.
Netherlands Kingdom of the Netherlands to break apart in the long run?
Will secede (or at least hold a referendum)[ edit ]
Certainly wants to secede [ edit ]
French Polynesia is actively working towards independence from France ; President Oscar Temaru in his September 14 , 2007 election speech indicated he wanted a referendum on independence within 20 years.
For Kashmir , independence may be the only long-term option in its position between India , Pakistan and People's Republic of China . Musharraf might be willing to talk about it.[ 54]
Nevis actively working towards independence from Saint Kitts and Nevis , referendum to be held. Already held a referendum in 1998, which failed to pass although more than 60% were in favour, since 66.6% were required.
Palestine to become independent from Israel , consisting of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank ; Israel will have to pull out of the West Bank first; reconstruction in the Gaza Strip is currently starting. (ISO code exists.)
Inner Mongolia , Tibet and Uyghuristan /East Turkestan to gain freedom from People's Republic of China sooner or later.
Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic to hold a referendum on independence from Morocco ... hopefully. Morocco has been less than forthcoming, however. Western Sahara enjoys support from Algeria and Spain , among others. (ISO code exists.)

Historical communities: Andalusia , the Basque Country (38 to 31 in favour?![ 59] ), Catalonia and Galicia demand more autonomy or independence.

The Catalan Countries might also succeed with this endeavour ( Balearic Islands , Catalonia , La Franja (eastern part of Aragon ) and Valencia in Spain, Andorra , Northern Catalonia (part of the département Pyrénées-Orientales ) in France). Galicians might also favour to merge with Portugal .
New statutes for Aragon , Balearic Islands and Castile-La Mancha (to be passed as law soon), Valencia .
Autonomous communities which want to declare themselves comunidades históricas : Aragon ,[ 60] Asturias ,[ 61] Balearic Islands ,[ 62] Canary Islands ,[ 63] Castile and León ,[ 64] Valencia [ 65]

Sudan to resolve civil war in Darfur .
Turkey to resolve Armenian Genocide , Assyrian Genocide and Pontic Greek Genocide issues, as well as the rights of Alevis .
