Accepted answer

Panama became independent of Colombia in 1903.

Other regions of unitary states have declared independence but not achieved universal international diplomatic recognition, e.g.

  • Kosovo from Serbia in 2008 (around 90 countries)
  • Abkhazia and South Ossetia from Georgia in 2008, Nagorno-Karabakh from Azerbaijan in 1991, and Transnistria from Moldova in 1990. Aside from Russia, these countries are mainly recognized by each other
  • Northern Cyprus from Cyprus in 1983 (Turkey alone)
  • Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic from Morocco in 1976 (around 60 countries)
