Countries in the World: 195
There are 195 countries in the world today. This total comprises 193 countries that are member states of the United Nations and 2 countries that are non-member observer states: the Holy See and the State of Palestine.
Not in the list
Not included in this total count of 195 countries are:
  • Taiwan - the United Nations considers it represented by the People's Republic of China
  • The Cook Islands and Niue, both states in free association with New Zealand which are members of several UN specialized agencies and have been recognized "full treaty-making capacity", but are neither member states nor non-member observer states.
  • Dependencies (or dependent territories, dependent areas, dependencies) and Areas of Special Sovereignty (autonomous territories)
  • Other countries recognized by the United Nations as not being self-governing
just go for em' all, you got nothing to lose at this point :monkey:

Interesting and pointless debate. Does visiting the Cook Islands count as NZ?

You also have to clarify what counts as a visit. IMO airport transfers don't.

Neither does visits to US military facilities - if you have seen one leased US military facility outside the US, you have seen them all - not much difference.

Technically not sovereign US territory as only leased; like Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, but not in-country either.
