The 205 listed states can be divided into three categories based on membership within the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_System" title="United Nations System">United Nations System</a>: 193 <a href="/wiki/Member_states_of_the_United_Nations" title="Member states of the United Nations">UN member states</a>,<a href="#cite_note-unms-1">[1]</a> two <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_observers#Present_non-member_observers" title="United Nations General Assembly observers">UN General Assembly non-member observer states</a>, and ten other states. The sovereignty dispute column indicates states having undisputed sovereignty (188 states, of which there are 187 UN member states and one UN General Assembly non-member observer state), states having disputed sovereignty (15 states, of which there are six UN member states, one UN General Assembly non-member observer state, and eight de facto states), and states having a <a href="/wiki/Political_status_of_the_Cook_Islands_and_Niue" title="Political status of the Cook Islands and Niue">special political status</a> (two states, both in <a href="/wiki/Associated_state" title="Associated state">free association</a> with <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand" title="New Zealand">New Zealand</a>). Compiling a list such as this can be complicated and controversial, as there is no definition that is binding on all the members of the community of nations concerning the criteria for <a href="/wiki/State_(polity)" title="State (polity)">statehood</a>. For more information on the criteria used to determine the contents of this list, please see the <a href="#Criteria_for_inclusion">criteria for inclusion</a> section below. The list is intended to include entities that have been recognised as having <a href="/wiki/De_facto" title="De facto">de facto</a> status as sovereign states, and inclusion should not be seen as an endorsement of any specific claim to statehood in legal terms. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Criteria_for_inclusion">Criteria for inclusion</h2></div> The dominant <a href="/wiki/Customary_international_law" title="Customary international law">customary international law</a> standard of statehood is the <a href="/wiki/Sovereign_state#Declarative_theory" title="Sovereign state">declarative theory of statehood</a>, which was codified by the <a href="/wiki/Montevideo_Convention" title="Montevideo Convention">Montevideo Convention</a> of 1933. The Convention defines the state as a <a href="/wiki/Legal_person" title="Legal person">person</a> of international law if it "possess[es] the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) a capacity to enter into relations with the other states" so long as it was not "obtained by force whether this consists in the employment of arms, in threatening diplomatic representations, or in any other effective coercive measure".<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> Debate exists on the degree to which <a href="/wiki/Diplomatic_recognition" title="Diplomatic recognition">recognition</a> should be included as a criterion of statehood. The declarative theory of statehood argues that statehood is purely objective and recognition of a state by other states is irrelevant. On the other end of the spectrum, the <a href="/wiki/Sovereign_state#Constitutive_theory" title="Sovereign state">constitutive theory of statehood</a> defines a state as a person under international law only if it is recognised as <a href="/wiki/Sovereignty" title="Sovereignty">sovereign</a> by other states. For the purposes of this list, included are all polities that consider themselves sovereign states (through a <a href="/wiki/Declaration_of_independence" title="Declaration of independence">declaration of independence</a> or some other means) and either: <ul><li>are often regarded as satisfying the declarative theory of statehood, or</li> <li>are recognised as a sovereign state by at least one <a href="/wiki/Member_states_of_the_United_Nations" title="Member states of the United Nations">UN member state</a></li></ul> In some cases, there is a divergence of opinion over the interpretation of the first point, and whether an entity satisfies it is disputed. Unique political entities which fail to meet the classification of a sovereign state are considered <a href="/wiki/Quasi-state" title="Quasi-state">proto-states</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Hahn-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-Griffiths-4">[4]</a> On the basis of the above criteria, this list includes the following 205 entities:<a href="#cite_note-5">[a]</a><a href="#cite_note-micros-6">[b]</a> <ul><li>203 states recognised by at least one UN member state</li> <li>1 state that satisfies the declarative theory of statehood and is recognised only by non-UN member states</li> <li>1 state that satisfies the declarative theory of statehood and is not recognised by any other state</li></ul> The table includes bullets in the right-hand column representing entities that are either not sovereign states or have a close association to another sovereign state. It also includes subnational areas where the sovereignty of the titular state is limited by an international agreement. Taken together, these include: <ul><li>Entities that are in a <a href="/wiki/Associated_state" title="Associated state">free association</a> relationship with another state</li> <li>2 entities controlled by Pakistan which are neither sovereign states, dependent territories, nor part of another state: <a href="/wiki/Azad_Kashmir" title="Azad Kashmir">Azad Kashmir</a> and <a
