List of countries by the United Nations geoscheme

This is a list of countries by the United Nations geoscheme, including 193 UN member states, 2 UN observer states (the Holy See and Palestine), 2 states in free association with New Zealand (the Cook Islands and Niue), and 50 non-sovereign dependencies/territories, as well as Western Sahara (a territory whose sovereignty is disputed) and Antarctica.

In total, 249 countries and territories have been listed. Not included in the list are de facto states (whose sovereignty are not recognised by the UN), the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, and 4 uninhabited territories (the Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Clipperton Island, the Coral Sea Islands, and Navassa Island).

The United Nations Statistics Division created and maintains the M49 – Standard country or area codes for statistical use.[1] The codes are listed from smallest to largest region, left to right.
