Well the UK officially left on the 31st January 2020. So I took 'as of 2020' to mean, from the start of 2021. If you took it to mean from the start of 2020 then the 27 is correct.

Only a small point really and I'm not gonna throw a wobbler over it. The question was just a bit ambiguous.

Pretty sure there are currently 27, there were 28 when the UK were still in...

Until the end of Jan 2020. They were gone for most of 2020 and definitely gone by the end of it. I guessed 28 but ive no issue with Kolido saying thats wrong.

I am certain I got 11 of those absolutely correct. The rest were educated guesses with a couple of random guesses and no ideas thrown in
