There are 258 countries in the world. Greenland as separate from Denmark. Most users will want this file instead of sovereign states, though some users will want map units instead when needing to distinguish overseas regions of France.

Natural Earth shows de facto boundaries by default according to who controls the territory, versus de jure. Optional point-of-view (POV) variants are available for several dozen countries in the next section.

These optional point-of-view (POV) variants show the worldview for several dozen countries according to de jure boundaries (as prescribed by the home country’s law and/or local conventions) and their global alliances. This results in between 246 and 258 countries, depending on who’s counting, with variation in border alignments.
