By Henrik Jeppesen.
Below are the names of all 193 UN countries in the world and the two UN observer states, the Holy See and the State of Palestine, as well as their capitals. In addition to this, a lot of places in the world are considered countries by many. More about this in this article. You can click on each country for more information. I visited every country in the world of the UN list, the UN list + observer states below and the NOC list, before turning 28 years. At the age of 30, I completed the FIFA list of nations.
Some countries have more than one capital, with South Africa being the only country to have three. A unique arrangement to share power across regions. You can find more information about the countries with more than one capital in this article by CNN.
