The resolution criteria clearly distinguish between mere diplomatic statements of intent and formal government recognition of statehood, resolving to No unless formal recognition occurs by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. While official government statements serve as the primary source, the rules also allow resolution via a consensus of credible reporting, which grants some latitude to adjudicators if official documentation is delayed or ambiguous. The question title omits the specific year, but the rules explicitly set the end date at the close of 2026.
