About how many countries are there in the world??

Question

just approximatly

Answer 1

Even though all of the other answers are close, there are actually 193 countries. However, there are also 9 states lacking general international recognition, none of which are UN members, that may be defined as states in the body of customary international law, drawing on the precedent of the Montevideo Convention:

1. No longer a UN member since late 1971, recognized by 22 UN member states and the Holy See (Vatican City), and currently with de facto international relations with many  others, the Republic of China (commonly referred to as Taiwan).

2. Recognized by 46 UN member states but never admitted to the UN itself, with most of its claimed territory under Moroccan de facto administration, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic in Western Sahara.

3. Recognized by 43 UN member states and the Republic of China (Taiwan), the Republic of Kosovo.

4. Diplomatically recognized by no UN member states except Turkey, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

And, to add to the list, 5 de facto independent states, namely Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, Somaliland, and South Ossetia, none recognized by any UN member states.
