Countries highlighted contain regions that are partially recognized, or are unrecognized themselves.
Red indicates no recognition
Yellow indicates limited recognition
Green indicates majority recognition

These lists of unrecognized or partially recognized countries give an overview of contemporary geopolitical entities that wish to be recognized as sovereign states under the Montevideo Convention, but which do not enjoy worldwide diplomatic recognition. The entries listed here have control over their claimed territory and are self-governing with a desire for full independence, or if they lack such control over their territory, are recognized by at least one other recognized nation. A separate list of historical, unrecognized countries documents similar entities that have existed in the past.

There are 192 United Nations (UN) member states, including the entries from this list of Cyprus, Israel, the People's Republic of China, North Korea, and South Korea. Vatican City is generally recognized as being a sovereign state, but is not a member of the United Nations.
