Then there's Wikipedia's list of sovereign states, which mirrors the U. Perhaps the most puzzling non-country is Greenland , a massive island between the north Atlantic and Arctic oceans, which certainly looks like it ought to be its own country—just like its tiny neighbor, Iceland.
However, Greenland is not a U. Other sources use a less rigid definition of country and give dependent and disputed territories such as Greenland and the Gaza Strip their own separate listings. All of this demonstrates that it is not so simple to determine the exact number of countries there are in the world. Moreover, and the constantly changing nature of politics means that issues around sovereignty are unlikely to ever be fully resolved.
Sources do not always agree on the total number of countries in the world. Other sources claim there are countries. They count Holy See and Palestine as UN observers but also consider Taiwan and Kosovo to be self-governed territories that both have substantial economic resources of their own.
The latter fact is because Taiwan is considered as part of the Chinese territory; the same is correct for Kosovo being part of Serbia. With all the socio-economic, geographical, and political difficulties, this can all be subject to change over time. Generally, the UN seems to be a reliable source for the total number of countries. For a country to be a part of this organization, a country must apply for membership, be assessed, and then be voted in.
The country has to be approved by the five permanent member countries: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The constant flux of politics and globalization are continually redefining countries, so agreeing on a final count can be difficult.
In addition to the reasons already described, here are some additional facts. Some researchers believe that there could be even more countries in the future. This is because Libya has often been in turmoil, because of extremists there fighting for control and different governments trying to take over since Gaddafi was overthrown.
