中華民國 (臺灣) - 中華民國[1]
中華民國(1912年1月1日— )位於亞洲東部、太平洋西岸,現在國際上也常被通稱為「台灣」。目前有效統治之台灣地區領土包括台灣本島、澎湖群島、金門、馬祖、東沙群島、南沙太平島和中洲島,總陸地面積36,188平方公里。中華民國中央政府現位於台北市,遷台前首都南京市。中華民國是第二次世界大戰主要戰勝國,也是聯合國五個主要創始會員國之一。台灣(原寫作臺灣,「臺」為正體字,因書寫方便,此字後來與異體字「台」通用,現今多用「台」字)位於亞洲東部地區,西太平洋上。荷蘭時期稱 「Taioan」,漢書為「大員」、「台員」或「大灣」。名稱由來很多,其中一種是來自台灣島南部平埔族原住民─西拉雅族對居住地的稱呼。
文言:中華民國在亞東之極。本都南京,因事失地泰半,暫遷於臺北。其東以鴨綠江界朝鮮國,隔東海望日本。其北與俄羅斯相接。其西有大山,天下至高者也。而皆失於內戰,今僅得臺灣及其周圍矣。
