So it looks like all that low-hanging fruit went by 2002, with the outliers by 2004.
Some of those outliers aren't universally recognised countries. Transnistria, South Ossetia, etc. Some are regions of other countries with varying levels of autonomy. Udmurtia, Mordovia, etc. The most recently created article which is about something I recognise as a widely recognised country (I have never committed the list of countries to memory, so I may have missed one!) is Kenya, created in February 2003.
