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.
