Kunengqondo, kuyinto umbuzo - yini lonke inani lamazwe emhlabeni, kodwa ngokuvamile ubeka zokuma kwendawo kumile, ngoba izindlela ezahlukene ukubala nemiphumela ehlukile.
Okokuqala udinga ukuhlukanisa phakathi welithi "nezizwe" futhi "isimo" ngenxa yokuthi awayona ezifanayo. Isimo uye waqaphela kutimela kwamanye amazwe, isimo imingcele olusemthethweni kanye nezinye izimfanelo, nalapho leliya lizwe - ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umqondo wegama elithi "izwe" ngokuvamile kuhlanganisa amakoloni futhi indawo engaphansi semi engaphansi phikisa.
Ngokwesibonelo, isibalo amazwe emhlabeni ngokuhambisana nenani UN oyilungu kuyinto 192, kodwa kukhona okungenani ezimbili uthi, okuyinto awawona amalungu UN - eKosovo futhi iVatican. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona namanje Taiwan, okungukufa kwezibalo ezishiwo izincwadi nama-encyclopedia isikhathi eside has a isimo behlukile China, kodwa China ayiboni Taiwan njengoba isimo esihlukile, bakubheka njengobuthakathaka siqu endaweni yabo ekhethekile, ngakho ngenxa yezizathu zezombangazwe, iZizwe Ezihlangene akazange siyifake ngezithako zawo njengoba party ehlukile. Kodwa lokhu mpikiswano mayelana nokuthi iyiphi inombolo yamazwe emhlabeni akugcini.
Ngaphandle emazweni isimo esiyingqayizivele, kusenabantu uthi ezinesimo lingaqinisekile. Inani lamazwe emhlabeni nale isimo manje 12: 8 babo obonwa okukodwa noma ngaphezulu UN oyilungu, 2 uthi obonwa eyodwa noma ezimbalwa uthi ingxenye abaziwayo nasezincwadini amazwe 2 ngokusemthethweni elingabonwa yinoma ubani. Lawa mazwe 8 obonwa ilungu okungenani eyodwa UN, futhi yini ingxenye yaleli inhlangano, kodwa ngokomthetho ngamazwe, kufanele zihlonishwe njengobukhosi uthi ezimele, kodwa, ngezizathu ezithile isimo sabo zezombangazwe uhlala akucacile. Uhlu kula mazwe kakade okukhulunywe Republic of eKosovo futhi Taiwan (Republic of China), kanye Republic of South Ossetia Abkhazia, Palestine, Turkish Republic Northern Cyprus (Cyprus ubona athatha izwe labakwa-), i-Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (Sadr), Azad Jammu and Kashmir (ehlukanisiwe Pakistan neyaziwayo kubo).
Phakathi kwezinye izinto, ephendula umbuzo othi, yini inani lamazwe emhlabeni, ingasaphathwa mkhuba uthi ebonakalayo. Ngokusho imfundiso yokuziphendukela wekuba sive, State ngamunye kumele abe nsimu, kodwa i-Internet ikwenza kube nokwenzeka ukuba uzibe udingeka kangaka. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, isimo virtual ungaba ifulege, ijazi, ngisho ukukhiqiza imali yamaphepha kanye izitembu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi uthi ongathi insimu e-Antarctica,
ukuhambisana nayo yonke izimpawu isimo. Lezindawo zifaka Grand Duchy of Westarctica, eyasungulwa ngo-2001, kanye isimo abadumile engaziwa of Sealand, emanzini indawo ye-United Kingdom. Kodwa insimu yayo, ehlanganisa platform eyakhelwe phakathi Second neMpi Yezwe, eBrithani asisebenzi. Namanje akhona futhi wirtland Vimperium ogxile ngokuphelele kunethiwekhi Inthanethi. UMbuso ngomqondo ezivamile azikwazi ngokuthi i the Order of Malta, has nokho isimo obuka i-UN.
Ngakho, uthi ngokucacile ukuthi inani lamazwe emhlabeni, akunakwenzeka. Ngokusho indlela olwamukelwa ngokubala 195 uthi zikhona, kodwa uma sikhuluma ngokukhethekile mayelana amazwe ukufaka umqondo ayibonwa futhi ezindaweni uphikise, impendulo kungenzeka isibalo 262.
