Now that is a question that's somewhat difficult to answer, as there is no one right answer. \n\n Many sources offer different answers, and depending on the source, there are 189, 191, 192, 193 or 194 independent countries in the world today. \n\n The United Nations has 192 members (including Montenegro and Serbia - the two newest nations) but that number does not include the Vatican, an independent nation. \n\n The US State Department recognises 193 independent countries around the world. but that list of countries reflects the political agenda of the United States of America. As an example, it does not include Taiwan as China claims that Taiwan (the ROC) is simply a province of China. \n\n The latest World Almanacs use 193 countries, which is probably the best answer, but what about Palestine? Greenland? Western Sahara? Chechnya? Tibet ? Cabinda?\n\nThe political world is constantly changing and the definition of a country is difficult . If so what about Somalia? \n\nAs for the richest country it is the same scenario, depending on which criteria you are using the positions seem to change also . But I will say the USA is because even those countries with oil they still want the USA to come and buy it otherwise they will starve . If donations are wanted in this world everyone looks at the USA first . Same as military, Same as tourism etc
