Compiling a list such as this can be a difficult and controversial process, as there is no definition that is binding on all the members of the community of nations concerning the criteria for [[sovereign state|statehood]]. For more information on the criteria used to determine the contents of this list, please see the ''[[#Criteria for inclusion|criteria for inclusion]]'' section below. The list is intended to include entities that have been recognized to have ''de facto'' status as sovereign states, and inclusion should not be seen as an endorsement of any specific claim to statehood in legal terms.

* {{flag|Netherlands}}

* {{flag|Aruba}}

|
|

|
+
* {{flag|Sint Maarten}}
|
|
801
|
+
The monarch and his ministers form the government of the kingdom as well as the government of its constituent country, the Netherlands. Following the dissolution of the [[Netherlands Antilles]] in 2010, Curaçao and Sint Maarten have become constituent countries, which, alongside Aruba, enjoy considerable autonomy. The other three islands ([[Bonaire]], [[Saba]], [[Sint Eustatius]]) became [[Caribbean Netherlands|special municipalities]] of the Netherlands.
|
|
802
|
+
|
|
803
|
+
The designation "Netherlands" can refer either to one of the Kingdom's constituent countries or to the short name for the Kingdom (e.g. in international organizations). The Kingdom of the Netherlands as a whole is a member of the EU, but EU law applies only to parts within Europe.

==Criteria for inclusion==
|
|
1430
|
+
The dominant [[customary international law]] standard of statehood is the [[Sovereign state#Declarative theory|declarative theory of statehood]], which was codified by the [[Montevideo Convention]] of 1933. The Convention defines the state as a [[Legal personality|person]] of international law if it ''"possess[es] the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) a capacity to enter into relations with the other states"'' so long as it was not ''"obtained by force whether this consists in the employment of arms, in threatening diplomatic representations, or in any other effective coercive measure"''.<ref>{{cite book|author=Hersch Lauterpacht|title=Recognition in International Law|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EWgEv1Qq2TwC&pg=PA419|year=2012|publisher=Cambridge University Press|page=419}}</ref>
|
|
1431
|
+
|
|
1432
|
+
Debate exists on the degree to which [[Diplomatic recognition|recognition]] should be included as a criterion of statehood. The declarative theory of statehood argues that statehood is purely objective and recognition of a state by other states is irrelevant. On the other end of the spectrum, the [[Sovereign state#Constitutive theory|constitutive theory of statehood]] defines a state as a person under international law only if it is recognised as [[Sovereignty|sovereign]] by other states. For the purposes of this list, included are all states that either:
|
|
1433
|
+
* (a) consider themselves sovereign (through a [[declaration of independence]] or some other means) and are often regarded as satisfying the declarative theory of statehood, ''or''
|
|
1434
|
+
* (b) are recognised as a sovereign state by at least one [[UN member state]]
|
|
1435
|
+
|
|
1436
|
+
Note that in some cases, there is a divergence of opinion over the interpretation of the first point, and whether an entity satisfies it is disputed.
|
|
1437
|
+
|
|
1438
|
+
On the basis of the above criteria, this list includes the following 206 entities:<ref>The following bullets are grouped according to the availability of sources for the two criteria ((a) and/or (b)). This arrangement is not intended to reflect the relative importance of the two theories. Additional details are discussed in the state's individual entries.</ref><ref name="micros" group="Note">The [[Sovereign Military Order of Malta]] is not included, as despite being a sovereign entity it lacks territory and doesn't claim statehood. Entities considered to be [[micronation]]s are not included. It is often up to debate whether a micronation truly controls its claimed territory. Also omitted from this list are all [[uncontacted people]]s, either who live in [[Stateless society|societies that cannot be defined as states]] or whose statuses as such are not definitively known.</ref>
|
|
1439
|
+
* 203 states recognised by at least one [[Member states of the United Nations|UN member state]]
|
|
1440
|
+
* Two states that satisfy the declarative theory of statehood and are recognised only by non-UN member states: [[Nagorno-Karabakh Republic]], [[Transnistria]]
|
|
1441
|
+
* One state that satisfies the declarative theory of statehood and is not recognised by any other state: [[Somaliland]]
