Since Lemovicia's proclamation of independence from West Miersa in 1979, and the subsequent Lemovician War which lasted until 1992, international recognition of Lemovicia has been hampered by continued West Miersan claims to the region, which it continues to view as being part of the voivodeship of Malomiersa, and by West Miersa severing ties to any country that de-jure recognises Lemovician independence (with the exceptions of Kirenia and East Miersa).
History
On 21 November, 1979, with the outbreak of the Miersan War between West Miersa and East Miersa, the Lemovician Section of the Workers' International proclaimed the independence of what was the voivodeship of Malomiersa from West Miersa. A constitution was adopted the following year, which proclaimed Lemovicia to be a sovereign state.
After the end of the Miersan War in 1982, and the withdrawal of direct East Miersan support, Miersan communities in Lemovicia rebelled against the Lemovician government, with the tacit support of the West Miersans, and by 1988, had taken control of western Lemovicia, leaving Lemovicia administering only the eastern regions of the country, as well as the Slirnian Administrative Region.
Since the end of the Lemovician War in 1992, the situation has been described as a frozen conflict, with only a handful of CN members, predominantly socialist states recognizing Lemovician sovereignty.

Since Lemovicia's independence in 1979, successive West Miersan governments have continued to claim sovereignty over Lemovicia, as part of the Malomiersan and Nadmorzemian voivodeships, under the principles of territorial integrity, and have maintained a strict policy of refusing to have diplomatic relations with countries who recognize Lemovician independence, with the sole exceptions of East Miersa and Kirenia. |
