Note:
(a) 新新聞 (政治類周刊; founded in 1987; leaning toward 黨外 and its successor 民進黨.
(b) "美國國務院網站的「對抗ＩＳＩＬ全球聯盟」（The Global Coalition to Counter ISIL，美國國務院稱伊期蘭國ＩＳＩＬ）公開資訊，裡頭清楚記載在去年九一一事件周年前夕，也就是二○一四年九月十日，台灣就已經被列入全球聯盟的六十五個國家"

The Global Coalition to Counter ISIL. US Department of State, undated/

(i) “國家”?
(A) To be fair, The page says “partners”: "Sixty-five coalition partners have committed themselves to the goals of eliminating the threat posed by ISIL * * * Below are some (this list is not exhaustive) of the partners that have joined this effort to date, and we expect the number to grow."
(B) The page does not use “nation,” but does use “country” that does not refer to Taiwan:

"As Secretary Kerry has said, 'there is a role for every country to play' in degrading and defeating ISIL. Some partners are contributing to the military effort, by providing arms, equipment, training, or advice. These partners include countries in Europe and in the Middle East region that are contributing to the air campaign against ISIL targets.
(ii) To be honest, this page, being undated and most likely updated frequently (without an update date), supplies no evidence that Taiwan was included in the coalition from the start, Sept 10, 2014. The opening sentence only says, “On September 10, 2014, President Obama announced the formation of a broad international coalition to defeat The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).”
