When people ask how many countries there are in the world, they expect a simple answer. After all , we’ve explored the whole planet, we have international travel and global organizations like the United Nation, so we should really know how many countries there are. However, the answer varies according whom you ask. Most people say there are 192, but others point out there could be more like 260.The problem arises because there isn’t a universally agreed definition of ‘country’ and because, for political reasons, some countries find it convenient to recognize or not recognize other countries.
