South Sudan

I think if there is a new country to emerge this is the one. They announced already that there will be a referendum taking place next January.

South Sudan

Brazil

The 3 southern states of Brazil: Parana, Santa Catarina, & Rio Grande do Sul

Chechen Republi

Chechen Republic maybe a possible candidate to independence but it will take it a very long time, 'cause Russia is nowadays increasing its military and economic power
—Guest nick

Greenland

The citizens are eyeing independence from Denmark.
—Guest guest

For me its Kosovo because the people of Kosovo like to be independent from Serbia.

Xinjiang

THIS IS THE PROVINCE WHICH IS DENSELY POPULATED WITH A MUSLIM POPULATION IN A BUDDHIST COUNTRY.
—Guest VINAY

SANTA CRUZ

THIS IS A TENTATIVE NAME FOR A NEW COUNTRY IN SOUTHAMERICA SECEDING FROM BOLIVIA. THREE REGIONS FROM BOLIVIA ARE WILLING TO SECEDE SEPARATING EUROPEAN AND MESTIZOS FROM QUICHUA INDIANDS. TWO NEW COUNTRIES THEN BECAUSE BOLIVIA MIGHT BE WANTING TO CHANGE ITS NAME FOR ONE IN QUICHUA LANGUAGE.

Hawaii

Folks here have a dream to regain their independance.

Pepsi

I don't think you people are paying attention. It's been an awful long while since a new island has been discovered so rather obviously one soon will and go direct to independence. I suspect that, when the residents discover that naming it Pepsi will get each of them a free year's supply, they'll go for that idea, but I'm just guessing on that part.

Gaza

Gaza Strip could be the next new country. Now, the behaviour of this territory is almost as an independent country.
—Guest Costa

Mindanao

I think that Mindanao will secede from the Philippines and become something like the Islamic Republic of Mindanao.
—Guest ChuckAnderson

Transnistria

Transnistria (Pridnestrovje) will gain independence from Moldova

Kurdistan

I think central Asia is falling to pieces and we will definitely start seeing new powers, for better or worse, emerge there in the next decade or two. Kurdistan (which would constitute mostly regions of northern Iraq and southern Turkey) seems like a good enough candidate to me, though I'm sure it will really be some place in that region I've never heard of.

Maybe South Yemen?

Twenty years ago North and South Yemen was united into Yemen. But now the south with most of the natural ressources has a strong independence movement.
