According the the United Nations there are 192 countries and if you count Vatican City the number rises to 193. Wikipedia states there are actually 243 territories that could be considered countries - but their methods here are not accepted by all http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countries_of_the_world
Good Luck!!!
