Alphabetical List of World Countries and Capitals

How many countries are in the world?

Unfortunately, there isn't one correct answer. Maps and country systems are political, so it can vary depending on your views and where you come from.

In this list of countries and capitals, we have included all 193 members of the United Nations, the two UN observers (Palestine and Vatican City), and Kosovo to equal 196 countries and their respective capital cities.
