List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Eurasia

This is a list of sovereign states and dependent territories in Eurasia, along with other areas of special political status.

Eurasia is a continent comprising the traditional continents of Europe and Asia. It is divided from Africa by the Isthmus of Suez. Some states such as Malta are traditionally part of Eurasia, however they lie on the African tectonic plate. It is separated from Australasia somewhere in the Malay Archipelago, and is usually considered as including Indonesia and East Timor (Timor-Leste).

Some areas are associated with Eurasian states, being part of them or dependent upon them, but are not physically in it. Examples are the Danish territory of Greenland, the French overseas areas, the Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla, and most of the British overseas territories.

United Nations Member States
The following is a list of internationally recognised sovereign states that are members of the United Nations.

United Nations General Assembly non-member observer states
Non-member sovereign states are free to submit a petition to join as a full member at their discretion. The petition is then evaluated by the United Nations Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). For example, Switzerland was a UNGA non-member observer state from 1948 to 2002, until becoming a full member of the UN on September 10, 2002. Currently, there are two non-member observer states, namely the Holy See and the State of Palestine. They are both referred to as "non-member States having received a standing invitation to participate as observers in the sessions and the work of the General Assembly and maintaining permanent observer missions at Headquarters".
