Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS):  The CIS is a regional organization whose participating countries are former Soviet Republics, formed during the breakup of the Soviet Union. Member countries are listed below:

 

• Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia (former member), Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan

 

Emerging and Disputed Nations:  The World Century Club does not hold political or other views on country status, and reserves the right to designate a nation with "country" status for the sole purposes of categorization and counting of traveler countries. The country list contained herein is compiled, non-exclusively, from a number of published sources, including the CIA ("World Factbook"), US Department of State, and United Nations.  Emerging nations (i.e., those separating or seceding from their parent government) are not counted here until independence has been expressed by the population and generally recognized by the world community.  Kosovo, South Sudan, and Taiwan presently maintain World Century Club "country" status, but Transdniestra does not.
