   This is an alphabetical list of the sovereign states of the world,
   including both de jure and de facto independent states.

Criteria for inclusion

   This list derives its definition of a sovereign state from Article 1 of
   the Montevideo Convention from 1933. According to the Convention, a
   sovereign state should possess the following qualifications: (a) a
   permanent population, (b) a defined territory, (c) government, and (d)
   capacity to enter into relations with the other states. The list
   includes all states that satisfy these criteria and claim independence.

   The notes include information on:
     * The reason why a non-de jure state is listed (also listed at the de
       jure state)
     * The overseas dependencies
     * The federal structures if applicable
     * The autonomous areas inside the territory of the sovereign state

   The names are given in English and in the official language(s) of the
   state.
     * The names in English are the short official names (e.g.
       Afghanistan) followed by the (long) official name (e.g. The Islamic
       Republic of Afghanistan).
     * The names in the native languages are the short and official names
       in the official language(s). If needed, they have been
       transliterated into Romanized characters, but original scripts
       (such as Cyrillic or Chinese characters) are included. When
       possible, the romanization preferred by the country has been used.

   The listing of any name in this article is not meant to imply an
   official position in any naming dispute. Entities considered to be
   micronations that are internationally not recognized are not included.

   There are 201 entities on this list. The breakdown into categories is
   as follows:
     * 192 United Nations member states
     * One state with general international recognition but not UN
       membership governed by the Holy See within Rome (a UN permanent
       observer): the Vatican City.
     * One state, not a UN member since late 1971, recognized by 24 UN
       members as well as the Holy See, and currently with de facto
       international relations with most states, the Republic of China,
       popularly referred to as Taiwan.
     * One state, member of the African Union, recognized by 47 UN members
       though never itself a UN member, with more than half of its claimed
       territory under military occupation, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic
       Republic in Western Sahara.
     * One state, not a UN member, recognised only by Turkey, the Turkish
       Republic of Northern Cyprus.
     * Five states, neither UN members nor recognised by any states that
       are, but sovereign according to article 1 of the Montevideo
       Convention, Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Somaliland, South Ossetia
       and Transnistria.

   Unlisted are the following states that fail to reach the criteria but
   which customary international law nonetheless might define as states
   under the Montevideo Convention:
     * Two states, in free association with New Zealand and represented in
       most matters by that country: Niue and the Cook Islands.
     * One so-called state, a UN observer member, recognized by 96 other
       states, but with extraterritorial areas within Rome is the
       Sovereign Military Order of Malta.
     * One state, never a UN member, recognized by 93 other states, but
       without any de facto control over its claimed territory, the State
       of Palestine in the Palestinian territories.
     * One state, never a UN member, only ever briefly recognised by the
       Republic of Georgia, with all of its claimed territory under
       military occupation, the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.

   Also not listed below are various disputed territories which cannot be
   justifiably assigned to the latter category, including Jubaland and
   Puntland (Somalia), Cabinda (Angola), Kosovo (Serbia), Kurdistan
   (Iraq), Kurdistan (Turkey) and numerous others. For a more inclusive
   list that includes dependent territories and areas of special
   sovereignty, see list of countries.
