Detailed explanation-1: -There are 195 countries in the world today. This total comprises 193 countries that are member states of the United Nations and 2 countries that are non-member observer states: the Holy See and the State of Palestine.
Detailed explanation-2: -The other non-UN members which can clearly be defined as country or ‘sovereign’ state is Kosovo. So UN full-members 193 + 2 observers + Taiwan & Kosovo = 197.
Detailed explanation-3: -List of countries in the world: There are 195 countries in the world, of which 193 are UN member states while 2 are non-member observer states-the Vatican and Palestine.
Detailed explanation-4: -If you use the U.S. State Department’s list of recognized nations and also include Taiwan, there are 196 countries in the world. The same number is reached if you count the UN voting members, its two permanent observers, and Taiwan. This is why 196 is probably the best current answer to the question.
