We find the easy list of member countries of UN but how many and which countries are not in UN? This might be a tricky question.
Well, for your information, there are three countries out of the 196 countries of the world that are not members of the United Nations.
Kosovo
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on on February 17, 2008. However, it has not gained complete international recognition yet. Thus it's not allowed to become a member of the United Nations.
Taiwan
In 1971 the People's Republic of China -the mainland China - replaced Taiwan (also known as the Republic of China) in the United Nations.
Vatican City
Vatican city the smallest country of the world is not a member country of UN. The independent papal state of 771 people (including the Pope) was created in 1929. They have not chosen to become part of the international organization and thus not a UN member country yet.
