List of Nations

List of Culture Groups
The world is home to a large number of countries. This is a potentially incomplete list of countries of the world with active governments along with some basic information regarding them. The criteria for statehood is unclear and nations constantly rise and fall during politically turbulent times. Some nation entries in this list may be considered potentially outdated or otherwise inaccurate. They are denoted with a cross symbol (✝).

If a section is marked "N/A," data for that category cannot be obtained, possibly due to a lack of reporting by the nation or difficulty in finding the data.

All currency measurements are made in Talers.

Disputed Territory
There are a handful of territories whose existence, sovereignty, recognition, and so on are in question.

Non-Sovereign Territories
In addition to sovereign and disputed states, there are a multitude of colonies, dependencies, occupation zones, and protectorates of sovereign powers, as well as several common areas under the jurisdiction of the League of Nations. Please note that figures of population, area, density, and GDP/GDPPC may be a portion of the national totals under 'Sovereign Nations'. Some areas may be blank, such as the capitals column for colonial holdings administered abroad.
