East Germany lives, kind of, sort of according to this post from Strange Maps. Apparently Castro gifted a small island to East Germany in the 1970s. However, when East Germany and West Germany merged the island was left out of the treaty in a loophole. Years later, when brought to his attention Castro said it was only a symbolic transfer of the island. However, Sealand fans will forever recognize East Germany's continued existence on Cayo Ernesto Thaelmann.
