All about the youngest nations in the world
List of youngest countries in the world: The United Nations currently recognizes the world as a union of 193 countries plus two observer states. Over time, new nations were added to the list. These new nations often arise as a result of the division or dissolution of an old one. Or, new nations are previously occupied territories that have achieved independence from their mother or host nation and established themselves as independent states. South Sudan, which separated from Sudan in 2011, is the newest country in the world as of early 2022.
