![How many countries are in the world](https://answers.mindstick.com/questionanswer/920e77e9-ea53-4753-8627-ac2e2e7528f9/images/46a275b1-b853-49fa-bee4-8fbafd92c455.jpeg)\

Total countries in the world now - about 195 countries. Well, if one believes in research, there can be more than 240 countries in the whole world. But only 195 of these countries have been included in the united state. But only 192 countries have UN membership, which does not include Palestine in Vatican City, Taiwan and Christian Line.

If we talk about some new data, the population of this entire world is around 7.7 billion, out of which 35% population is in India and China. We know that China is number one in the whole world, about population. But India is also not behind in this matter. India has also retained the second number in the population list. If we talk about the Indian population, then India has a population of about 1.37 billion. \
Due to increasing population and many other reasons, many new countries are being created in the whole world. But the data of some countries has not been collected yet. A few years ago on 9 July 2011, Sudan, a new country like South Sudan was created. And an interesting thing is that 99% of the people living in Yehud Sudan had demanded that we want a different country, due to which a new country was developed.
