The study contains the results of a geopolitical cartographic and linguistic
analysis of the situation of stateless nations and ethnic groups. The aim of the analysis
was to create a complete list of nations whose countries are divided by a modern state
borders. Most often, such countries are separated by one border, so they are under the
rule of two countries, but it turned out that there are cases of partitions where the
country is torn between five political entities. There are 229 nations and ethnic groups
that meet the criteria established in the study, and the largest of them are presented in
more detail. Most of them live in Sub-Saharan Africa and that is where the most ethnic
conflicts occur
