Newest Nations on Planet Earth

The United Nations currently recognizes 193 countries as well as two observer states—and FIFA recognizes a full 211 member nations—yet new countries continue to be born. Most often, new countries form when an established country splits or dissolves. Other times, new countries are former territories that have become independent from their mother/host country, establishing themselves as new sovereign nations. In the past 40 years alone, 34 new countries have been recognized by the United Nations, which is widely regarded as the final step of becoming a fully realized country. Can you name the following most recent countries?
