About this quiz
Every member state with a date of admission from 1990 on, in the order they joined. Most came out of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia; others are small states that had stayed outside, and a few are long established countries that joined late.
- 13 members were admitted in 1992 alone.
- Switzerland joined only in 2002.
- No member has been admitted since South Sudan on 14 July 2011, as of October 2026.

Note on the data. Admission dates are those on the United Nations list of member states, read on 3 October 2026 and parsed by script. A state that continues an earlier membership keeps the earlier date, as the list has it: the Russian Federation carries 24 October 1945. Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo and Taiwan are not members and are not asked. The list was last checked on 3 October 2026.
