The following 54 fully recognised states are all members of the United Nations and the African Union. English: South Africa â Republic of South Africa. Tsonga: Afrika Dzonga â Riphabliki ra Afrika Dzonga. Tswana: Aforika Borwa â Rephaboliki ya Aforika Borwa.

These are respectively first, second and seventh in the list of countries by land area.
