  • The methods of counting thenumber of countries in the world is contentious, and there are many different ways to count. 196 is the official ‘UN’ number, but that excludes places like Palestine and Somaliland. If you’re going to include those nations, what about South Osetia and Abkhazia? Western Sahara? How about things that call themselves countries but are recognized by no one, like Sealand?

    I believe that 204 is approximately the number of countries that are recognized by at least one UN member state, but at least 4 of those are recognized only by Russia and each other.
