Countries of the World

Countries of the World : Countries of the World English lesson 2 Marguerite Carstairs Http://activeenglishspeaking.com

Slide 2 : Welcome to Countries of the World The US State Department recognizes 194 independent countries around the world Many sources offer different answers, and depending on the source, there are 189, 191, 192, 193, 194 or 195 independent countries in the world today. Which countries are there in the world ?

How Many Countries? : How Many Countries? As of May 1, 2008, the United Nations has 192 members (including Montenegro and Serbia - the two newest nations). That number does not include the Vatican, and it doesn't (yet) include Kosovo (disclaimer). Regarding England, Scotland and Wales, though all are widely considered individual countries, they are all still a part of the United Kingdom (UK), a European country, and therefore included within the United Kingdom on our country list below. The US State Department recognizes 194 independent countries around the world, but that list of countries reflects the political agenda of the United States of America. As an example, it includes Kosovo, but does not include Taiwan, as China claims that Taiwan (the ROC) is simply a province of China. Most of the current World Almanacs use 193 countries http://www.worldatlas.com/nations.htm
