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.
