• List of sovereign states and dependencies (Sunalaya)

The following is a list providing an overview of sovereign states around the world, with information on their status and recognition of their sovereignty.

Compiling a list such as this can be a difficult and controversial process, as there is no definition that is binding on all the members of the community of nations concerning the criteria for statehood. The list is intended to include entities that have been recognized as having de facto status as sovereign states, and inclusion should not be seen as an endorsement of any specific claim to statehood in legal terms.
