The largest city is El Aaiºn (Laayoune), containing the majority of the population. Whether it is part of Morocco or is the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) , is disputed. At present it is largely occupied, and entirely claimed, by Morocco, but this claim is not recognized by any state, whereas the SADR is recognized by several dozen. Western Sahara is on the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories. In the peace plan a future Western Sahara Authority (WSA) is envisaged. Western Sahara is one of the most sparsely populated territories in the world, with some rankings listing it as the least dense.
