List of countries in the world

Before we look at the list of all the countries in the world, we should know about how many countries there are in total.

Total countries in the world

Now, when this question of total countries in the world comes, there is always a heated argument for it. Some organizations consider that there are only 193 countries, and some other believes in 195. In contrast, many others believe in the figure of 197, and also, there are some other institutions that keep a count of 205 as entire countries. This is because many international organizations recognize different numbers for total countries in the world. Like, U.N. is a collaboration of 193 nations, whereas if we are looking at these figures to travel, then these numbers jump to 205.

So, we just can't say an exact number for this question of total countries in the world. There are many reasons behind this confusion and heated argument, and we can't consider all of them as valid reasons, but here we are listing some valid and popular reasons for this confusion:

  • First and foremost reason, Many Developed countries like the U.S., Russia, or China, and some organizations like the E.U. (European Union), U.N. (United Nations), etc., keep their own count, which makes it very confusing.
  • There are many countries that are recognized by many other countries and Unions but not recognized by some other countries and organizations that create the difference in data and multiple numbers.
  • Many territories and states consider themselves as separate and independent but still under the control of or governed by other countries.

So, for these reasons, whenever we see a list of countries, we can see a possibility of modification in the given data depending upon the source from where we are getting the count.

List of all countries in the world

In this article, we will take the number 195 to create the list of all countries as 195 is the fairest and recognized number for total countries in the world. The list we are providing here contains the name of all the countries as well some of their important contents like the flag of the country, capital of the country, the total area of the country (in Sq. Km), the official language of the country and the official currency of the country.
