Note
The 193 countries in the list are the 191 United Nations member states plus the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Holy See (Vatican City).
The list also shows the 11 countries which have a total of 66 dependencies, of which 23 are not permanently inhabited and therefore not in the List of countries by population. The total is 259 countries and dependencies.
Compare with List of dependent territories, which lists 70 dependencies.
Remarks
- Were the African Union (29,797,500 km2 ) and the European Union (3,976,372 km2 ) considered countries, they would place 1st and 7th biggest countries by area respectively.
