Exclusions:
- Kosovo is not a member state of the United Nations.
- Taiwan is not a member state of the United Nations.

- Although the United Kingdom is a member state of the United Nations, it is not listed as the countries of England, Scotland and Wales are listed separately. Northern Ireland is considered as part of Ireland.
- The territory of Saint Helena includes the Island group of Tristan da Cunha; Saint Helena also administers Ascension Island.
