There are too many examples of this kind.

  • American civil war

  • Civil war in Russia in 1918-1922, particularly, secessions of Ukraine, Georgia and other territories.

  • Dessolution of the USSR, particularly secessions of the Baltic republics, as well as Russian SFSR itself.

  • Secession of Chechen republic from Russia.

  • Secession of Kosovo from Yugoslavia

  • Secessions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia from Georgia

  • Pretty much every anti-colonial war

  • Taiwan vs. China

and so on and so on.

In 1984, an Austrian artist declared the Republic of Kugelmugel (about 8 m in diameter and situated right in the Austrian capital Vienna). He pulled a stunt by printing and publishing his own stamps and ran into expected and some unexpected troubles with various authorities accordingly. His republic was doomed as a sovereign entity among nations, but he ultimately received personal protection from being fined as he was seen as a likeable outsider (and perhaps of interest to the tourists also).
