I guess I'd probably go with 196. Experts differ in opinions, ranging from about 189-196.
For example, Taiwan is not considered as its own country by the US. Their list contains 194 countries. But I would include Taiwan in the list, having lived there, and knowing that we had complete autonomy in Taiwan, with no China rule. Taiwan is independent. The US used to recognize it, but then...politics happened.
Blessings,

We can receive of heaven's light only as we are willing to be emptied of self. We can discern the character of God, and accept Christ by faith, only as we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. And to all who do this, the Holy Spirit is given without measure. In Christ "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him." [Colossians 2:9, 10.] {GW 57.1} -- Ellen White.

Maybe I should ask it another way.
How many flags representing each country are there in the world?
