User:Briefplan/List of countries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The purpose of this page is to provide a standard list of countries which can be used in creating other, more specific lists. It is well-referenced, with reliable, authoritative references provided at the heading of each column, on each row, and on the key. These references can be copied into other articles. All the references at the heading of each column are unless specified in individual cells.

      United Nations member states^[1]
      United Nations observer^[2]
      States lacking general recognition - These states are all largely considered part of another, and so should not be included in ordered lists
      Overseas territories - Only inhabited, non-military territories are included. These states should be included in ordered lists.
