Places That Dont Exist : Abkhazia and South Ossetia (Georgia) Holidays in the Danger Zone: Places That Dont Exist is a five-part BBC Four series on breakaway states and unrecognised nations, devised, written and presented by Simon Reeve. The series producer was Will Daws. The producer was Iain Overton. The series took the team to little-known parts of the world including Somaliland, recognised as part of Somalia Transnistria of Moldova Taiwan Nagorno-Karabakh of Azerbaijan Ajaria, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia, all recognized by the United Kingdom as parts of Georgia. (Despite a regional crisis in 2004, Adjara is now under the full control of Georgia) There are almost 200 official countries in the world. But there are dozens more breakaway states which are determined to be separate and independent. Episode 1: Somaliland Episode 2: Trans-Dniester Episode 3: Taiwan (Republic of China) Episode 4: South Ossetia and Abkhazia Episode 5: Nagorno-Karabakh The breakaway states have their own rulers, parliaments or warlords, and are home to millions of people, but they are not officially recognised as proper countries by the rest of the world. Several have their own armies and police forces, and issue passports and even postage stamps which the rest of the world ignores. All of the breakaway states have declared independence after violent struggles with a neighbouring state. Some now survive peacefully, but others are a magnet for terrorists and weapons smuggling, and have armies ready for a fight. Several could be at the centre of future wars which threaten their regions and the wider world. Thanks for watching..... ... All our videos for just education.
