Countries, Capitals, Plates and Currencies

This is a list of the 193 member states of the United Nations on 6th November 2020, along with the pertinent facts. Sorry about not including the hangers on and the wannabees, I really do think Taiwan should be granted membership, but I have to draw the line somewhere. Its tough to lable Cote d'Ivoire, the Congos and Koreas, and do you really put in "The" for "The" Netherlands? I haven't. I have replaced "and" and "et" with "&" and dropped the "The's". As you can see, not all the characters have transfered into HTML. For official names of the countries and currencies, look 'em up. Hopefully it will be easy for you to cut'n'paste this list and juggle about with it as you wish. (I would 'Highlight', 'Copy' and use 'paste special', 'unformatted text') The flags you see are neat little Gif images and if you want these on your hard dive I would click 'File', 'save page as', (at this stage give it a name) which will put a folder with all the flags somewhere on your hard drive, usually your desk top. If you right click on any flag and select 'view image' you will see them fuller size and perhaps be able to fathom the subtle differences between the flags of Nicaragua, Honduras & El Salvador

The largest city and second city columns are fraught with ambiguity. What is a city? Do you put in suburbs? They are dynamic, populations change. Whatever, I hope they are adequate, they are not definitive, just a reasonable guide.
