separatist movements in
Oceania . Separatism includes
autonomism and

Criteria
What is and is not considered an
autonomist or secessionist movement is sometimes contentious. Entries on this list must meet three criteria:
They are active movements with active members.
They are seeking greater autonomy or
self-determination for a geographic region (as opposed to
personal autonomy ).
They are citizens/people of the conflict area and do 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.
