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

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

The UN doesn't "recognize" countries, it just happens to have most all countries as members. The official list of UN members, containing 191 countries, is here:
http://www.un.org/members/
Note that some countries voluntarily choose to stay out (the biggie for a long time being Switzerland, but they'd finally joined so the sole holdout seems to be the Vatican now), and others are just "entities who have received a standing invitation to observe" (!), including Palestine and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (whose territory consists of an office in Rome).

clacko, from the World Bank web site:
Link to the IBRD membership list here. I hope this points you in the right direction.
