Number of Countries in the World: 195
This number is widely disputed: some people say 195, 196, or "more than 200". The 196 and "more than 200" numbers includes territories that do not have full sovereignty and are not independent, therefore being part of an official country or state. Territories are sometimes considered to be countries but in an informal sense.

* Since AZERBAIJAN, GEORGIA, KAZAKHSTAN, and TÜRKIYE are in Asia for the most part, they are listed under only Asia. RUSSIA is listed in both. CYPRUS is considered to be geographically in Asia, although it is an EU member and conflicting definitions of what Europe is would consider Cyprus to be a European country.
