@Teiso.

There 195 countries in the world out of which 192 countries are members of the U.N.

The newest UN member is Switzerland (2002).

South Sudan is the newest country which gained freedom on 9th july 2011. Taiwan operates as an independent country, many countries (including the U.S. ) do not officially recognize it as one.

Teiso, very good information. Thanks.

There are 192 members of the United Nations but there are 195 countries in the world however South Sudan would likely become the world's newest and 196th country. (the declaration of independence is not expected for South Sudan until July 9, 2011)

there are still two recognized independent countries, the Vatican City and Kosovo, that are independent and are not members of the U.N.

Taiwan meets the requirements of independent country or state status. However, due to political reasons, it fails to be recognized by the international community as independent.

In UN how many member are there?

It is one among the small islands in asia nearby Indonesia
