I don't know how far down you want to go, but maybe this link to 317 countries will help:

Last I remember is that there are just over 200 recognized countries, including the Palestinian Authority. The UN has 195 or so members, with 10 non-members and observing states (Palestinians, etc)

Only "country" not recognized by the UN is Taiwan.
