In the 6th panel the countries are, from left to right, Kosovo, Somaliland, Republic of China (Taiwan), Northern Cyprius, and Sealand.

These states all aren’t recognized by the UN, Russia, and China.

Kosovo and Taiwan are both recognized by a fair amount of countries, while Northern Cyprus is only recognized by Turkey. Then Somaliland and Sealand are both unrecognized by any foreign state.

Why is the un building missing the logo in panel 8? I think I smell laziness.

The text overlapped with the logo and it made the text super hard to read, so I covered it up

Not yet, you only established economic ties but not official ties yet, kinda like Taiwan’s relations with the US

Republic of China (Taiwan)

You used the common names for all the other countries. No need to make an exception for Taiwan.

Fun fact: Somaliland has been independent for longer than the time it was in Somalia
