That’s right bby, I do geography quizzes in my free time. I never mix up Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
But can you find the Federated States of Micronesia first time?
Only 196? My father and his stamp collecting buddies can name and point out like 300 countries.
(most don’t exist anymore or are small regions whose independence isn’t really recognized by others, or island with their own governments but they technically belong to other countries)
Last I counted (last year) there were 204. Probably not accurate now
The methods of counting thenumber of countries in the world is contentious, and there are many different ways to count. 196 is the official ‘UN’ number, but that excludes places like Palestine and Somaliland. If you’re going to include those nations, what about South Osetia and Abkhazia? Western Sahara? How about things that call themselves countries but are recognized by no one, like Sealand?
I believe that 204 is approximately the number of countries that are recognized by at least one UN member state, but at least 4 of those are recognized only by Russia and each other.
Australia, New Zealand, Palau, Nauru, Kiribati, Fiji, Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Samoa, Micronesia, Papua New Guinea.
Are you scared yet?
(IDK if I missed any.)
Off the top of my head, Vanuatu and Tuvalu
Thank you I forgot those
Niue, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, Tokelau, and American Samoa for starters.
PS: admittedly, some of those are dependent territorries
Those are not independent nations
Hey, Niue will have you know that they are merely in free association with New Zealand and had their independence in foreign relations recognized by the UN.
As someone who can do that I feel called out
thatd be cool.
imagine being able to go
points
ooooh, Chicago!
Maria we aren’t our own country yet, I think you’re seeing the future
unusual?
