But… There is only 195 countries in the world, so if there are 200 in the UAE, that makes no sense. Maybe you meant 20 nationalities? Because if there were 195 countries, that would only be 195 nationalities. I know the difference between country and nationality, but I’m confused. Confused Screaming.
There is no “set” number of countries. Based on UN recognition, one could say there are any number of countries ranging from 180-220. 195 is generally used as a benchmark in the United States, as that is the number of countries actively recognized by the U.S. with including some controversial ones like Kosovo, and not including others, like Palestine.
Without making this topic politically charged, I find it slightly ironic that Emirates is doing this, given the current climate of workers in the country.
