From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 205.170.14.10 (talk) at 00:22, 4 March 2008 (→No recognition). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Countries highlighted contain regions that are partially recognized, or are unrecognized themselves.
Red indicates no recognition
Yellow indicates limited recognition
Green indicates majority recognition

These lists of unrecognized or partially recognized countries give an overview of contemporary geopolitical entities that wish to be recognized as sovereign states under the Montevideo Convention, but which do not enjoy worldwide diplomatic recognition. The entries listed here are self-governing with their own government systems. A separate list of historical, unrecognized countries documents similar entities that have existed in the past.

There are 192 United Nations (UN) member states, including from this list, Cyprus, Israel, the People's Republic of China, North Korea, and South Korea. Vatican City is generally recognized as being a sovereign state, but is not a member of the United Nations.
