Charts, tables, and boxes:

Since the government's withdrawal to Taiwan in 1949, the term Republic of China has been taken to apply to the territory under the government's effective control: the islands of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and a number of smaller islands. For the sake of simplicity, these are sometimes referred to collectively as "Taiwan."
