Regions with Open Inter-State Borders Regions with open inter-state borders are not limited to the Schengen Area. Even within unions like the union state of Russia and Belarus, there are regions with open borders, despite being part of two countries. However, the number of countries involved is still lower compared to Schengen. Another notable union with open borders is MERCOSUR, spanning a significant part of South America and involving numerous countries in the region, including associate members and observers.

Developed Countries in 2025 There are various ways to classify countries as "developed" or "developing." One method considers the Human Development Index, income levels (World Bank data), and inclusion in the IMF's list of developed countries. Countries meeting all three criteria are unequivocally classified as developed. Those meeting two out of three criteria (HDI and income) include a diverse group like wealthy Gulf states (e.g., Saudi Arabia, UAE), Chile, Uruguay, Poland, and some Balkan countries. In contrast, certain Balkan nations only fulfill one criterion, either in income or HDI.
