There are plenty secessionist groups is south Africa. One of them is the Afrikaners. They even have their own political party working for this purpose.

In Japan, the secessionist groups are uncountable. Lol,they are countable. May be 10 or so.
Ethnic group: Ainu
Proposed state: Republic of Ainu
Political group: Ainu independence movement

Ethnic group: Ryukyuan
Proposed state: Republic of Ryukyu
Political groups: Ryukyu independence movement
Note: The supporters of the movement want the Amami Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture, former part of the defunct Ryukyu Kingdom until 1609, to be part of independent Ryukyu.

Hong Kong is not a sovereign nation. Hong Kong is a special administrative region (SAR) which enjoys a high degree of autonomy under the People's Republic of China (PRC). But despite this, it still has some secessionist groups. Many of them have distinct point of view from pan-democrats,[4] and advocate the Hong Kong people's right to self-determination, while milder elements advocate for greater autonomy while remaining part of China, and the most radical call for the return to British rule or full independence as a sovereign state. Certain right-wing localist groups also advocate for a more aggressive and militant stance against the mainland government in defending indigenous interests.[5] For that reason, they are labelled as "radicals" and "separatists" by the Beijing government. Finally, there are several secessionist groups in France. One of them is Basque people.
Proposed state: Unification with the Basque Country
