East Timor

East Timor, Timor L'Este or Timor Lorosae is an island nation in Southeast Asia. In 1975, it declared independence from Portugal (see: Timor). The region was then claimed by Indonesia, sparking warfare until a United Nations peacekeeping force was installed in October 1999, called UNTAET. East Timor has been recognized as an independent country since 2002.  File:East Timor A.jpg|thumb|center|400px|2000 issue for East Timor under UN control.
