    It's a big game of cat, mouse, pride, and political points. -> Around 30 member states of the UN also fail to recognize the statehood of Israel...

    I mean, there is no "objective" list of countries everyone agrees on, nor how many are there in total. You're gonna upset some people regardless of which definition you choose.
