==Criteria for inclusion==
The dominant [[customary international law]] standard of statehood is the [[Sovereign state#Declarative theory|declarative theory of statehood]] that defines the state as a person of international law if it "possess[es] the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states." Debate exists on the degree to which [[Diplomatic recognition|recognition]] should be included as a criterion of statehood. The declarative theory of statehood, an example of which can be found in the [[Montevideo Convention]], argues that statehood is purely objective and recognition of a state by other states is irrelevant. On the other end of the spectrum, the [[Sovereign state#Constitutive theory|constitutive theory of statehood]] defines a state as a person under international law only if it is recognized as [[Sovereignty|sovereign]] by other states. For the purposes of this list, included are all states that either:
* (a) have declared independence and are often regarded as having control over a permanently populated territory
or
* (b) are recognized as a sovereign state by at least one other sovereign state

Note that in some cases there is a divergence of opinion over the interpretation of the first point, and whether an entity satisfies it is disputed.

On the basis of the above criteria, this list includes the following 207 entities:<ref>The following bullets are grouped according to the availability of sources for the two criteria ((a) and/or (b)). This arrangement is not intended to reflect the relative importance of the two theories. Additional details are discussed in the state's individual entries.</ref><ref name="micros" group="Note">The non-state sovereign entity [[Sovereign Military Order of Malta|Order of Malta]] is not included. It claims neither statehood nor any territory. Entities considered to be [[micronation]]s are not included. It is often up to debate whether a micronation truly controls its claimed territory. Also omitted from this list are all [[uncontacted people]]s, either who live in [[Stateless society|societies that cannot be defined as states]] or whose statuses as such are not definitively known.</ref>
* 203 states recognized by at least one [[Member states of the United Nations|UN member state]]
* Two states that control a permanently populated territory and are recognized only by non-UN member states: [[Nagorno-Karabakh Republic]], [[Transnistria]]
* Two states that control a permanently populated territory and are not recognized by any other state: [[Azawad]], [[Somaliland]]
