The World: Countries & Their Capitals
Our planet Earth is such a beautiful place. With a rich, illustrated history, especially after organized human civilization. And along with that comes international borders. We compiled a list of countries of the world, along with their capitals – 193 UN recognized countries, 2 UN observers (Palestine and the Vatican) and Kosovo.
* Palestine and Kosovo aren’t recognized as countries because of political issues and diverse diplomatic policies of other member countries (of the UN).
* Vatican is not considered a typical country because its government and systems are built on religious basis.
