The U.N. stands for United Nations.\n\nThis is a replacement for The League of Nations which was an international organization founded after the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. The League's goals included disarmament; preventing war through collective security; settling disputes between countries through negotiation diplomacy; and improving global welfare. The diplomatic philosophy behind the League represented a fundamental shift in thought from the preceding hundred years. The old philosophy, growing out of the Congress of Vienna (1815), saw Europe as a shifting map of alliances among nation-states, creating a balance of power maintained by strong armies and secret agreements. Under the new philosophy, the League was a government of governments, with the role of settling disputes between individual nations in an open and legalist forum. The impetus for the founding of the League came from Democratic U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, though the United States never joined the League of Nations.\n\nThe League lacked an armed force of its own and so depended on the Great Powers to enforce its resolutions, which they were often very reluctant to do. After a number of notable successes and some early failures, the League ultimately proved incapable of preventing aggression by the Axis Powers in the 1930s. The onset of the Second World War made it clear that the League had failed in its primary purpose—to avoid any future world war. The United Nations replaced it after World War II and inherited a number of agencies and organizations founded by the League.\n\nThe United Nations (UN) is an international organization that describes itself as a "global association of governments facilitating co-operation in international law, international security, economic development, and social equity." It was founded in 1945 by 51 states, replacing The League of Nations which was founded in 1919.\n\nAs of 2006 there exist 191 United Nations member states, including virtually all internationally recognised independent nations, except Vatican City (the Holy See) (which has declined membership but is an observer state), Palestine (whose status is still one of a de facto state, and has not yet legally declared statehood), Niue (whose foreign affairs are dealt with by the New Zealand Government) and Taiwan, which has not been internationally recognised as independent or as the Republic of China (whose status as a member state was transferred to the People's Republic of China in 1971). Palestine and the Holy See both have Permanent Observer Missions to the UN.\n\nFrom its headquarters in New York City, the UN's member countries and specialised agencies give guidance and decide on substantive and administrative issues in regular meetings held throughout each year. The organisation is divided into administrative bodies, including the UN General Assembly, UN Security Council, UN Economic and Social Council, UN Trusteeship Council, UN Secretariat, and the International Court of Justice, as well as counterpart bodies dealing with the governance of all other UN system agencies, such as the WHO and UNICEF. The UN's most visible public figure is the Secretary-General.\n\nThe UN was founded after the end of World War II by the victorious world powers with the hope that it would act to prevent conflicts between nations and make future wars impossible, by fostering an ideal of collective security. The organization's structure still reflects in some ways the circumstances of its founding. For example, the five main victors of World War II are the Security Council permanent members with veto power: The United States of America, the Soviet Union (which was replaced by Russia), the United Kingdom, France, and the Republic of China (later replaced by the People's Republic of China). Writer Alistair Cooke suggested in one of his "Letter from America" radio programmes that Stalin had in fact come up with the idea of the present

1. Countries Of The World\nEstimates of the number of countries in the world vary, depending on how a ‘country’ (‘nation’, ‘state’) is defined. At the beginning of 2004 there were 191 countries in the United Nations. A further three clearly independent countries do not have UN membership: Republic of China (Taiwan), Switzerland, Vatican City. Another seven claim independence, most having some degree of sovereignty - Northern Cyprus, Somaliland, Abkhazia, Bougainville, Chechnya, Dniestria, and Sahara. Several other territories (eg Aruba, Greenland, Isle of Man) have some degree of identity, with their own flags, postage stamps, uniforms, etc, and there are many groups claiming territorial autonomy amidst conflict in various parts of the world (eg Nagorno Karabakh, Krajina, Kosovo). The situation continues to change, as fresh political realities emerge (eg in South Africa, Palestine, and former USSR and Yugoslavia).\n\nSource: Crystal Reference Encyclopedia, © Crystal Reference Systems Limited 2006\n2. Nationalism\nA political doctrine which views the nation as the principal unit of political organization. Underlying this is the assumption that human beings hold the characteristic of nationality, with which they identify culturally, economically, and politically. A primary aim of nationalists, therefore, is to secure the right to belong to an independent state based on a particular national grouping. Nationalism is thus associated with attempts by national groupings to secure independence from dominance by other nation-states and to maintain that position against threats to it. It is often associated with the struggle against colonialism. More broadly, nationalism can be seen as a general political stance which holds that the principal aim of political activity should be to serve the national interest as opposed to that of a particular class or grouping. In practice, the national interest is, except in extreme cases such as war, open to different interpretations, and nationalism is often no more than an attempt to give legitimacy to a particular political standpoint. Nationalism, with the exception of anti-colonial movements, is based around a conservative, and sometimes romantic political philosophy that emphasizes the nation's past.\nSelf-determination\nA doctrine dating back to the 18th-c that cultural communities and national groupings have the right to determine their own destiny, including political independence and the right to self-rule. The principle that each nation has the right to fashion its own state is incorporated in the United Nations Charter, and is a major plank in anti-colonialism\n\n4.no. vary....political, monarcy, communist, democration, regimist, etc\n5. money, egoisme, nationalisme, power\n6. look at United Nations (un) resource\nAn organization formed to maintain world peace and foster international co-operation, formally established on 24 October 1945 with 51 founder countries. Its permanent headquarters are in New York. The UN Charter, which was drafted during the war by the USA, UK, and USSR, remains virtually unaltered despite the growth in membership and activities. There are six ‘principal organs’. The General Assembly is the plenary body which controls much of the UN's work, supervises the subsidiary organs, sets priorities, and debates major issues of international affairs. The 15-member Security Council is dominated by the five permanent members (China, France, Russia, UK, and USA) who each have the power of veto over any resolutions; the remaining 10 are elected for 2-year periods. The primary role of the Council is to maintain international peace and security; its decisions, unlike those of the General Assembly, are binding on all other members. It is empowered to order mandatory sanctions, call for ceasefires, and establish peacekeeping forces (these forces were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1988). The use of the veto has prevented it from intervening in a number

Now that is a question that's somewhat difficult to answer, as there is no one right answer. \n\n Many sources offer different answers, and depending on the source, there are 189, 191, 192, 193 or 194 independent countries in the world today. \n\n The United Nations has 192 members (including Montenegro and Serbia - the two newest nations) but that number does not include the Vatican, an independent nation. \n\n The US State Department recognises 193 independent countries around the world. but that list of countries reflects the political agenda of the United States of America. As an example, it does not include Taiwan as China claims that Taiwan (the ROC) is simply a province of China. \n\n The latest World Almanacs use 193 countries, which is probably the best answer, but what about Palestine? Greenland? Western Sahara? Chechnya? Tibet ? Cabinda?\n\nThe political world is constantly changing and the definition of a country is difficult . If so what about Somalia? \n\nAs for the richest country it is the same scenario, depending on which criteria you are using the positions seem to change also . But I will say the USA is because even those countries with oil they still want the USA to come and buy it otherwise they will starve . If donations are wanted in this world everyone looks at the USA first . Same as military, Same as tourism etc
