Countries

The CouchSurfing Wiki, an informal workspace which anyone can edit.

As international organization CouchSurfing has to find some common list of countries.

It is very equal to Wikipedia's List of Countries but in CS also some not worldwide recognized countries (see Wikipedia) as Taiwan are countries in CS. We have to face the fact that some countries do not exist (or are not recognized) to people from certain areas or countries. We hope that every CS member is open enough to accept that we have to have a common list for all travellers around the globe. If the list of Countries change according to Wikipedia and/or the United Nations CS will follow but this list has to be as stable as possible.
