Cuisine

Taiwan is known across Asia as the country that has the greatest variety of food and cuisine. Other nations have their own tasty specialities, as does Taiwan, but nowhere else offers them all in one place.

Sovereignty

Taiwan has its own currency, post office, armed forces, coast guard, customs, health care system, taxation system, national power infrastructure, education system, Parliament, President, & elections.
