I always get curious about unrecognized states. I check the "T" section and there is no option for a "Taiwan" lol.

Didn't mean to make this political, just found it intriguing.

(Also fun fact: My grandmother is literally older than the country I was born in, PRC, in a way, she was technically born in a different country (ROC) than I was born in... well... I mean, same land, but a different state/government.)

according to them; but it's still remarkable that the US federal government uses that name because https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/22/chapter-48 keeps referring to it as "Taiwan" and § 3301 even talks about "the governing authorities on Taiwan recognized by the United States as the Republic of China prior to January 1, 1979"
