Today, thanks to a fellow coleague a definitive list of countries in the world has been found!

Introducing…

the Travelers’ Century Club’s official list of countries
http://www.travelerscenturyclub.org/countries.html

According to this list, there are a total of 319 countries in the world. How many have you visited?

If you ever are in doubt of where to travel next or need an inspiration or reminder of obscure countries, this is the list to reference. Afterall, as they proclaim:
“THIS LIST IS RECOGNIZED BY THE WORLD AS THE STANDARD OF COUNTRIES AND DESTINATIONS THAT ARE POLITICALLY, ETHNOLOGICALLY OR GEOGRAPHICALLY DIFFERENT.”

Happy travels!
