There is no such country called Kurdistan.

By Most Accounts, 193 is the Correct Answer
A very frequent geographical question is "How many countries are in the world?." Different numbers pop up when one inquires or reads about the number of countries in the world. Each source you use often yields a different answer.
United Nations
There are 192 members of the United Nations. Unfortunately, the number 192 is too often used to represent the number of countries in the world. Although this number represents almost all of the countries in the world, there is still one country (the Vatican City) that is independent and has chosen not to become a member of the U.N. so 192 is not the number of countries in the world.
U.S. Department of State
The United States' State Department recognizes 193 independent countries around the world. Their list of 193 countries reflects the political agenda of the United States of America and its allies. Missing from the State Department's list is one entity that may or may not be considered a country, depending on who you talk to.
Amazing how many people cannot fathom your rather simple question. That said, it doesn't have an easy answer.but it would be in the dozens at least. Some new "countries" I can think of off the top of my head would be:
Kurdistan
Both Shia and Sunni regions of Iraq.
Quebec and/or western Canada
Tibet
California (at least some people would like to see it made a separate country).
Palestine
Darfur
Chiapas (Mexico)
Chechnya
Northern Mexico (a not well-known separatist movement exists among the border states of Mexico).
Many tribes of Native Americans might like independence.or at least feel-good liberals would want to thrust independence upon them.
