Although they have a lot of unique cultural aspects, they still pretty much adopt all continental Portugal traditions and lifestyle. You are totally right, Simon. They also have their own language and culture.
So technically they are not countries, even though you need a separate visa and a flight to get there. If I live a long time I might make it to What about Crown Dependencies?
They just rely on the Crown for ratification of highest level of legislation and military defence. I had the chance to visit more than countries so far. I would truly count several places I have been to as separate countries and not as part of a bigger one. We have thousands of miles between these places, totally different cultures, traditions, way of life, therefore to name them as their once colonizers wouldnt be fair.
Just my opinion. I truly enjoyed your website. Wonderful and congratulations! I lost your count somewhere, you have and then you say you add the list of 21 and take away one, resulting to , but your list only has got 20? Your comments are wrong. Scotland and Wales do have separate laws. Do have different languages. Its not pedantic. Its fact. They are separate countries. Also, to say they have different languages is pedantic. Let me answer that for you. I recently decided that I want to visit every country as well.
I had to write a list of all the countries and came up with the number as well. The Isle of Man is much more of an independent country than Scotland or Wales. I needed my passport to cross the border, my credit card stopped working, etc. Finally seeing some big traffic on my site! More than countries are in all over the world, It is really interesting things.
I too ran into so many different numbers when searching for the exact number of countries in the world. Same thing with Greenland, which has its own capital, Nuuk.
Great research here, in any case, I learned a lot! Regards from no. Though many are satisfied with simplistic expanations. You could have planned for the th and final new destination to be somewhere cheaper than Norway! Very impressive and very instructive. Thanks for the geographical lesson.

Catalonia refers to itself as a nation within Spain , that should not count. The constant flux of politics and globalization are continually redefining countries, so agreeing on a final count can be difficult.
In addition to the reasons already described, here are some additional facts. Some researchers believe that there could be even more countries in the future. This is because Libya has often been in turmoil, because of extremists there fighting for control and different governments trying to take over since Gaddafi was overthrown.
Based in Barcelona, Spain, Catalonia is the country's financial center. Catalans have wanted a separate state for many years, although many are opposed to separation. Somaliland part of Somalia considers itself independent and has its own government, army, and currency.
It had self-proclaimed independence and has informal ties with other countries. Formal recognition from the rest of the world is yet to come, though. These include Somaliland claiming independence from Somalia. They have their own currency, flag, as well as passports. Transnistria claimed independence from Moldova and Artsakh claimed its own independence from Azerbaijan. If you are a lover of sport or at least a fan of the Olympics, the countries competing at these games might seem like the logical list.
The list gets even longer when looking at the qualifying countries by FIFA. This organisation added Kosovo and Gibraltar in as countries competing in football to their already extensive list. Given the popularity of this sport in this corner of the world is not surprising to see Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland compete separately as opposed to under the country name of the United Kingdom.
Sounds like a lot, right? Not according to the Travellers Century Club and their list. Although some are not actually countries in their own right, they are included because they are removed from the parent country. Travellers have disputed the list of countries ever since wanderlust took them to explore the world….
