It's not yet been decided - nations could form or merge between now and 2008, and some smaller nations haven't decided whether they will send competitors. In 2004 there were officially 202 countries - not all independent nations - and it's likely that there will be a similar number in 2008. Jul 07 05, 2:04 PM

Right, we do not know yet. The IOC has 202 members which all participated in Athens 2004. Independent states and UN members Marshall Islands and Tuvalu are not (yet) members, but could achieve membership and participate in Beijing 2008. Jul 11 05, 8:33 AM
