234.
The U.N. only counts about 192 and Wikipedia counts 194 but my list... http://www.photius.com/rankings/population/population_2007_0.html
is based upon the USA CIA World Factbooks, the United Nations Statistical Office, The Library of Congress Country Studies and other sources.

192 - that 234 figure is too high.
