The map of the world as you know might not be totally correct, depending on who you talk to that is. There are a surprising number of states whose very existence is disputed. It may only be only one country that refuses to recognise them, or it could be the majority of nations.
The map below, sourced from The Herald Daily here, details the disputed areas of the world and some reasons why. Information from Wikipedia.
Armenia is not recognized by one UN member, Pakistan, as this country has a position of supporting Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The People's Republic of China (PRC) is not recognized by one UN non-member, the Republic of China (ROC, commonly known as 'Taiwan'). The PRC does not accept diplomatic relations with states that recognize the ROC (currently 22 UN member states and the Holy See). None of these states officially recognize the PRC as a state, though certain governments have made statements expressing an interest in official relations with both the PRC and the ROC. According to United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758, the PRC is the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations.
Cyprus is not recognized by one UN member, Turkey and one UN non-member, Northern Cyprus, as they do not accept that the Turkish military presence on Cyprus is an 'occupying force'.
Israel is not recognized by 19 UN members and one UN non-member, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, because of the Arab-Israeli conflict[38]. It is recognized by the Palestine Liberation Organization, which claims the right to set up a state in territory currently controlled by Israel.
North Korea is not recognized by two UN members: Japan and South Korea.
South Korea is not recognized by one UN member, North Korea.
