About this quiz
Every present member whose date of admission on the UN's own list falls in 1945, the year the United Nations was founded. A founding state that no longer exists is not here: the states that followed Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia carry later dates.
- Belarus and Ukraine each carry their own date in 1945, separate from Russia.
- Russia carries the Soviet Union's date, 24 October 1945.
- The Americas supplied 22 of the 49.
Sources
- [1]United Nations. Member States.
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.
