Maybe you too have idea to start on something to fill in your time, so you stop saying 'its boring today..'. :) Capitals of Every Independent Country The 195 Independent Countries on Earth With Their Capital City or Cities By Matt Rosenberg, About.com Guide Mar 2 2011 In February 2011, the official results of a referendum in South Sudan indicated that South Sudan would likely become the world's newest and 196th country. However, the declaration of independence is not expected for South Sudan until July 9, 2011. At that point, this page will be updated. Below is a complete listing of the 195 official independent countries of the world and their capital cities. Please see my article about the Number of Countries in the World for more information on the number 195. There are a significant number of countries that have multiple capital cities. Where that occurs, the additional capital cities are listed as well. (Note that the word "capitol" refers to the building and not to the city). My World Atlas provides maps and geographic information about every country and many non-countries on the planet. Follow the linked country name for maps and geographical information about each of the 195 countries in the world.
