For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.As regards the total number of countries, 193 - now that East Timor is independent - is probably the safest figure to go with. It depends, you see, on whose list you accept. The American Government, for example, does not recognise Taiwan, but most other countries do. The United Nations does not include the Vatican or Switzerland, though the people of the latter country recently voted to join. Are Scotland, England and Wales three countries or just one as the United Kingdom? And so it goes on. The figure of 193 includes the Vatican and Switzerland and treats the countries of the UK as one.
