One common convention counts 193 United Nations member states plus two non-member observer states: 195. Country recognition and inclusion rules differ. State the convention and the date, rather than calling one number the only possible answer.

Worked example

Using this convention: 193 + 2 = 195. This is not a count of continents, languages, or every territory.

A labeled addition diagram combines 193 UN member states and two observer states to total 195 under this convention.
