Revision as of 11:31, 13 March 2007
What is, and is not, a country can be a source of controversy.
For the purposes of this directory, a "country" is a nation state recognised by international law, typically through representation at the United Nations. Be aware, however, that some nation states are comprised of countries that may be only culturally recognised or may have formal recognition only within that nation state. The most notable example of this would be the United Kingdom, which is comprised of four widely recognised countries (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) that, for example, compete in many sports separately at international level.
By contrast, Northern Cyprus, although to all practical purposes an independent country, has no legal recognition, with United Nations recognition reserved for the Republic of Cyprus.
In this list we have stuck to the internationally recognised, United Nations represented, entities. We will deal with constituent or controversial countries within relevant articles.
Member States of the United Nations
Non-member observer state
- Holy See (Vatican)
