Resolves yes if any additional country is recognized by the UN through that country's being given observer state status or member status at the UN General Assembly. Current observers being upgraded to member status will not resolve this market. Non-state observer status does not qualify.

Based on the historical context, geopolitical trends, and ongoing disputes, predicting the formation of a new UN-recognized country before 2030 is possible but not guaranteed. While countries like Taiwan, Kosovo, or Somaliland seek broader recognition, many factors, including geopolitical balances, domestic policy, and diplomacy, may influence the outcomes.

Given that there are several unresolved territorial conflicts and aspirations for self-determination worldwide, the current 74.0% probability represents a relatively reasonable assessment of the situation. However, considering the complexities of international politics and the unique contexts of individual cases, it is difficult to determine with absolute certainty if these aspirations will materialize within the given timeframe.

In conclusion, while I agree that there is a significant chance of having a new UN-recognized country before 2030, the uncertainty inherent in the geopolitical landscape and other influencing factors make me hesitant to place a large wager on it. Consequently, I will express a moderate level of confidence by betting a small amount.
