yes because taiwan is not a country and with taiwan thereare 196 countries
Number of countries --> 195 But according to UN 192 countries as Vatican City & Kosovo are not their members. Taiwan is independent country but stills China claims it and UN does not consider as its member. so toll comes to 192 according to UN.
By most accounts, there are 195 Countries in the World. There are 192 members of the United Nations. Unfortunately, the number 192 is too often used to represent the number of countries in the world. Although this number represents almost all of the countries in the world, there are still two recognized independent countries, the Vatican City and Kosovo, that are independent and are not members of the U.N. so 192 is not the number of countries in the world. And think also of Taiwan.
There are 196 countries in the world today, including Taiwan. Many countries, including the United States do no recognize Taiwan as being an independent country.
China, Taiwan, and Singapore are three countries where Mandarin Chinese is spoken widely.
There are officially 195 countries in the world as of 2010 and 2014. If Taiwan was counted as a country, there would be 196.
There are 195 countries in the world. (196 if you include Taiwan, but several countries don't formally recognise Taiwan as a country). There is no clear definition about what defines a city from a town. As of 2016 there are 4,416 cities that have over 150,000 people.
The number of countries that are currently a part of FIFA is 208. However only the 32 that qualify compete in the world cup.
Unfortunately, the number 192 is too often used to represent the number of countries in the world. Although this number represents almost all of the countries in the world, there are still two recognized independent countries, the Vatican City and Kosovo, that are independent and are not members of the U.N. so 192 is not the number of countries in the world.There are total 194 known countries in the world:
The UN (United Nations) was founded in 1945 after World War II, to help establish peace among the nations of the world, it currently has 192 member states (countries), the only two countries which are not members are Taiwan (not an officially sovereign (free) country) and The Vatican ( home of The Pope) it has different committees which solve problems common throughout the world as well as attempting to hold peace between countries.
There are 195 or 196 countries in the world today. (Latest addition is South Sudan.) There are several other parts of existing countries that have declared their autonomy, but have not been recognized by the UN or a large number of the world's countries. There are 193 members of the United Nations, while Kosovo and Vatican City are not members. *Taiwan is not considered an official country by many, which would bring the count down to 195 countries. Although Taiwan operates as an independent country, many countries (including the US) do not "officially" recognize it as one. Because the People's Republic of China considers Taiwan a breakaway province of China, countries who wish to maintain diplomatic relations with China have had to sever their formal relations with Taiwan (more than 100 countries, however, have unofficial relations with Taiwan).
