Printable UN Countries Checklist | Free Download

It’s surprisingly difficult to find a plain-text checklist of all the United Nations member states, so I put one together myself! I’ve also added sections for non-UN member states and territories, for completeness’ sake.

You can use this as a checklist for keeping track of which countries you’ve visited and which are still left.

This list covers the following:  United Nations official member states, observer states and non-member states and territories, non-self governing territories, (some) disputed countries and places like Antartica and Greenland. A source list is provided at the bottom of this page.

If you’d prefer, you can download a PDF copy of this checklist, including a one-page printable version you can carry around in your passport or suitcase!

Please note I am NOT a geography expert, political genius, or anybody other than someone who likes compiling lists and wants to have a complete-ish checklist for countries that people want to visit or are interested for some kind of tourism or historical interest. This is just a simple list compiled by looking at Wikipedia pages and such for a few hours.
