List of sovereign states and dependent territories by continent

Template:Short description This is a list of sovereign states and dependent territories of the world by continent, displayed with their respective national flags, including the following entities:

• By association within the UN system:
  • The 193 United Nations (UN) member states.
  • Vatican City (administered by the Holy See, a UN General Assembly observer state), which has diplomatic relations with Template:Numrec.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation

|CitationClass=web }}</ref>

• • Palestine (a UN General Assembly observer state), which has diplomatic relations with Template:Numrec.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation

|CitationClass=web }}</ref>

• By other states:
  • Generally, this contains states with limited recognition and associated states not members of the United Nations.
  • Partially recognised de facto sovereign states with UN membership, such as the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of China (Taiwan).
  • De facto sovereign states lacking general international recognition.
  • Cook Islands and Niue, two states in free association with New Zealand without UN membership.
• By dependent territories of other UN member states:
  • Generally, this contains non-sovereign territories that are recognised by the UN as part of some member state.
  • Dependent territories.
  • Other territories often regarded as separate geographical territories, even though they are integral parts of their mother countries (such as the overseas departments and regions of France).

This list divides the world using the seven-continent model, with islands grouped into adjacent continents. Variations on are noted below and discussed in the following articles: Continent, Boundaries between the continents of Earth, and List of transcontinental countries.

Antarctica

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} Template:Further

Antarctica is regulated by the Antarctic Treaty System, which defines it as all land and ice shelves south of 60°S, and has no government and belongs to no country. However, the following territorial claims in Antarctica have been made:

• Argentina: Template:Flag
• Australia: Template:Flag
• Chile: Template:Flag
• France: Template:Flag (part of the Template:Flag)
• New Zealand: Template:Flag
• Norway: Template:Flag and Template:Flag
• United Kingdom: Template:Flag
• Terra nullius: Marie Byrd Land (unclaimed territory)

Russia and the United States have reserved the right to claim territory on Antarctica.

Subantarctic islands

Unlike Antarctica itself, other nearby Subantarctic island territories most commonly associated with the Antarctic continent, but lying north of 60°S, have had full sovereignty established over them by a governing state.

The following dependent territories are situated within the wider Antarctic region, but are not directly part of the Antarctic Treaty System:

Flag	Name	Status	Region	Capital
Template:Flagicon	Bouvet Island	Dependency of Norway	Atlantic Ocean	—
Template:Flagicon	French Southern and Antarctic Lands	Overseas territory of France	Indian Ocean	Alfred Faure (Crozet Islands) Port-aux-Français (Kerguelen Islands,largest settlement) Martin-de-Viviès (Saint Paul and Amsterdam Islands,unofficial)
Template:Flagicon	Heard Island and McDonald Islands	External territory of Australia	Indian Ocean	None(Atlas Cove is the largest settlement))
Template:Flagicon	South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands	British overseas territory	Atlantic Ocean	King Edward Point

In addition to the dependent territories listed above, the following islands are governed as a direct part of a controlling state. Thus they are fully and legally integrated within the governance structure of the respective state. They are similarly also not part of the Antarctic Treaty System.

Administering Country	Name	Status	Region	Subdivisions
Template:Flag	Macquarie Island	Part of the State of Tasmania.	Oceania	—
Template:Flag	New Zealand Subantarctic Islands	Governed directly, not within local municipal structure.	Oceania	The Antipodes Islands, the Auckland Islands, the Bounty Islands, the Campbell Islands, and the Snares Islands.
Template:Flag	Prince Edward Islands	Part of the City of Cape Town.	Africa	Prince Edward Island and Marion Island.
