If so, was it polled somewhere?

      Tibet was a theocratic slave state before being liberated.
      Neither the UN, the EUs member nations, the US or Taiwan thinks Taiwan is a country.

          I love being wrong! It means I get to learn new things. I am for example happy to learn that we have a user here from either Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Paraguay, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, or Tuvalu, since these are the only places that regonize Taiwan as a country.
          I am very sorry to hear what climate change is doing to your wonderful island/country! I hope your government is working towards a good future.

          Taiwan doesn't recognise Taiwanese independence. Let that sink in.

      Note that they said "Most involved" Russia, for instance, has always been the modern "Sick man of Europe" since the fall of the USSR. It's imperial aspirations don't extend as far. And it's relationship to the historic Core of the US and Western Europe, is as a semi-peripheral nation trying to coalesce a regional sphere of influence with itself as the center of gravity. None of that makes it a Core country though.

      Maybe if the current world system collapses, and it filled that vacuum. But that hasn't happened.

      Imperial Core refers to the World Systems Theory of International Relations, first put forward by Immanuel Wallerstien. I would suggest you read up on the topic before making half-baked responses like this.
