I find it surprising that there is a huge dispute as to the number of countries in the world. The UN recognizes 195 countries.
The CIA lists 237 countries and Peakbagger.com counts 253 "countries" by including 55 dependencies, Antarctica, and three other areas.
I would be hard pressed to name 100 countries much less locate them on a map!
