Officially, there are 194, but many areas, claim to be their own. These self-proclaimed countries are not accepted as countries world-wide.

Depending on your criteria and definition of a country, the current count can range anywhere from 189 to 266 or so.

193. 192 nations in the UN, and Palestine, are universally recognized as sovereign states. There are a few other nations that call themselves independent countries (such as Somaliland, Taiwan, Kosovo) but aren't recognized as such.
