Officially still part of Morocco proper. Officially part of Moldova. I undertook a bit of Transnistria tourism a few years ago from Moldova. A fascinating place.
Officially part of Georgia proper. I travelled to Abkhazia a few years ago with my mum, from Georgia. It has its own flag, its own sports teams.
Cook Islanders are New Zealand passport holders, and New Zealand is officially responsible for the defence and foreign affairs of the Cook Islands and Niue. However, these responsibilities confer New Zealand no rights of control per se. It is however recognised by 11 UN member states.
As of , the Cook Islands, Niue, and Kosovo are the only states that participate in UN specialised agencies, but which are not member or observer states of the UN itself.

First, I must risk offending everyone by stating 4 facts:. What is a country vs a nation, for example? If you consider a country to be anything that sees itself as a country, then you may consider it differently.
But what about Northern Ireland for example? Furthermore, there are other places that lots of people consider countries but all belong to an actual sovereign member state. See you on the road I guess! I live like this because I love to travel, though. I mean, does that even really count? Sooooo, are there countries in the world, and will I visit them all?

The Pandemic has of course but a damper on traveling but hopes for better times ahead. Hi Johnny, just came across your blog after doing a search for total number of countries in the world. Sorry mate, the facts are facts. If you actually researched correctly, they are all defined as countries as well as the UK, just because they form a sovereign nation does not mean they are not countries.
Get it right. They all fly the same flag, speak the same language, and study the same subjects. The fact is that UK is the country. But alas, it absolutely, definitely is.
Sorry mate, you are wrong, even pedantically. Nothing you said disqualifies Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland from being their own country. It is not inherently sovereign. Scotland, England, and Wales are definitely Countries. But the other three are bound by treaty and can be dissolved similarly. If the Scottish government wants to be independent then Scotland will be independent, because of Brexit with the EU and UK governmental issues.
Taiwan is not a country. What makes you have the rights to say it is?
