The Nations

The number of nations in the world is open to interpretation and much discussion. Some "nations" like Taiwan are excluded from many lists for political reasons, but are included on others.

The list below shows the 192 current member nations of the United Nations. The United States Department of State recognises 193 independent states in their list, while Wikipedia lists 245 entities considered to be countries.
