A presentation of Chukotka

Full name: Not known. Formally the Chukot Autonomous Area.
Location: Extreme north-east of Russia.
Status: Self-proclaimed constituent of the Russian Federation. Exact legal status unclear.
Notes: A 'Free State of Chutkotka' existed in the early 1920s. It used a national tricolour of white-yellow-blue stripes. No firm evidence seems to exist as to whether this flag has been re-adopted. In 1990 the region unilaterally upgraded itself to an Autonomous Republic, in a move so far unrecognized by Moscow.
