There are, on most counts, about 193. In a geography, you will have been (or will be told) that there are 192 (the 193rd is the Vatican City, which some consider as part of Italy)
However some counts make the number go up to 245, in which case the list of nations includes all entities considered to be nations, but not are necessarily recognized by the international community, or the UN.
Hope this has helped,
S.O.

Copied and pasted from source link.
There are 194 countries in the world today.
Unless you don't count Taiwan…
Taiwan is not considered an official country by many, which would bring the count down to 193 countries. Although Taiwan operates as an independent country, many countries (including the U.S.) do not officially recognize it as one. Because the People's Republic of China considers Taiwan a breakaway province of China, countries who wish to maintain diplomatic relations with China have had to sever their formal relations with Taiwan (more than 100 countries, however, have unofficial relations with Taiwan).
