::::::::::I'm not suggesting to delete the Vatican from the list, what I'm saying is that given its particular status its presentation here shouldn't be subject to controversy. How the U.N membership/affiliation decides on sovereignty can be an endless debate; just back in 2002 a country like Switzerland wasn't a U.N member then you have the Republic of China, Northern Cyprus and now Palestine. This can get further complicated by what the U.N considers as non-self governing territories like Guam, Gibraltar etc...
