DescriptionUnited Nations member countries world map.PNG
At the top right is an inset map showing Cold War countries - USSR, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and West Germany. Also shown are North Yemen and South Yemen, and Tanganyika and Zanzibar. Note: On the site, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are given a 1945 date for joining, with the other former-Soviet republics given a 1990s date. China is given a 1945 date for joining, when they were represented by the Republic of China (which later relocated to Taiwan in 1949), and was replaced by the People's Republic of China as China's representative in 1971 (see China and the United Nations). All areas listed in gray are not UN members.

I have corrected the boundry between the YAR and PDRY. The boundry then was unsettled. See this 1976 map: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/middle_east_and_asia/middle_east_pol_1976.jpg
