		Tamil Eelam (Tamil: தமிழ் ஈழம், tamiḻ īḻam) is the name given by nationalist Tamils in Sri Lanka, to the independent state which they demand in the Northern and Eastern portions of the island.
		Tamil Eelam is not recognized as an independent state by any independent nation or by the United Nations.
		The portion of Northern and Eastern under the control of the LTTE is run as a de facto quasi-independent state, with its own supreme court, police force, army, navy, air force, intelligence agency, and even a central bank, although these institutions are not formally recognized by the Sri Lankan government.
