Criteria

They are no longer an active movement with active members.
They are demanded greater autonomy or self-determination for a geographic region (as opposed to personal autonomy).
They were citizens/people of the conflict area and did not come from another country.
Under each region listed is one or more of the following:
De facto state (de facto entity): for unrecognized regions with de facto autonomy.
Proposed state: proposed name for a seceding sovereign state.
Proposed autonomous area: for movements towards greater autonomy for an area but not outright secession.
De facto autonomous government: for governments with de facto autonomous control over a region.
Government-in-exile: for a government based outside of the region in question, with or without control.
Political party (or parties): for political parties involved in a political system to push for autonomy or secession.
Militant organisation(s): for armed organisations.
Advocacy group(s): for non-belligerent, non-politically participatory entities.
