    According to http://www.listofcountriesoftheworld.com/ , the list below contains all of the countries in the world, including those which are allegedly disputed.

    I'm curious as to whether, between us, the good folk of After Hours have visited all of them?
    Afghanistan,Akrotiri,Albania,Algeria,American Samoa,Andorra,Angola,Anguilla,Antarctica,Antigua and Barbuda,Argentina,Armenia,Aruba,Ashmore and Cartier Islands,Australia,Austria,Azerbaijan,Bahamas, The,Bahrain,Bangladesh,Barbados,Bassas da India,Belarus,Belgium,Belize,Benin,Bermuda,Bhutan,Bolivia,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Botswana,Bouvet Island,Brazil,British Indian Ocean Territory,British Virgin Islands,Brunei,Bulgaria,Burkina Faso,Burma,Burundi,Cambodia,Cameroon,Canada,Cape Verde,Cayman Islands,Central African Republic,Chad,Chile,China,Christmas Island,Clipperton Island,Cocos (Keeling) Islands,Colombia,Comoros,Congo, Democratic Republic of the,Congo, Republic of the,Cook Islands,Coral Sea Islands,Costa Rica,Cote d'Ivoire,Croatia,Cuba,Cyprus,Czech Republic,Denmark,Dhekelia,Djibouti,Dominica,Dominican Republic,Ecuador,Egypt,El Salvador,Equatorial Guinea,Eritrea,Estonia,Ethiopia,Europa Island,Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas),Faroe Islands,Fiji,Finland,France,French Guiana,French Polynesia,French Southern and Antarctic Lands,Gabon,Gambia, The,Gaza Strip,Georgia,Germany,Ghana,Gibraltar,Glorioso Islands,Greece,Greenland,Grenada,Guadeloupe,Guam,Guatemala,Guernsey,Guinea,Guinea-Bissau,Guyana,Haiti,Heard Island and McDonald Islands,Holy See (Vatican City),Honduras,Hong Kong,Hungary,Iceland,India,Indonesia,Iran,Iraq,Ireland,Isle of Man,Israel,Italy,Jamaica,Jan Mayen,Japan,Jersey,Jordan,Juan de Nova Island,Kazakhstan,Kenya,Kiribati,Korea, North,Korea, South,Kuwait,Kyrgyzstan,Laos,Latvia,Lebanon,Lesotho,Liberia,Libya,Liechtenstein,Lithuania,Luxembourg,Macau,Macedonia,Madagascar,Malawi,Malaysia,Maldives,Mali,Malta,Marshall Islands,Martinique,Mauritania,Mauritius,Mayotte,Mexico,Federated States of Micronesia,Moldova,Monaco,Mongolia,Montserrat,Morocco,Mozambique,Namibia,Nauru,Navassa Island,Nepal,Netherlands,Netherlands Antilles,New Caledonia,New Zealand,Nicaragua,Niger,Nigeria,Niue,Norfolk Island,Northern Mariana Islands,Norway,Oman,Pakistan,Palau,Panama,Papua New Guinea,Paracel Islands,Paraguay,Peru,Philippines,Pitcairn Islands,Poland,Portugal,Puerto Rico,Qatar,Reunion,Romania,Russia,Rwanda,Saint Helena,Saint Kitts and Nevis,Saint Lucia,Saint Pierre and Miquelon,Saint Vincent and the Grenadines,Samoa,San Marino,Sao Tome and Principe,Saudi Arabia,Senegal,Serbia and Montenegro,Seychelles,Sierra Leone,Singapore,Slovakia,Slovenia,Solomon Islands,Somalia,South Africa,South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands,Spain,Spratly Islands,Sri Lanka,Sudan,Suriname,Svalbard,Swaziland,Sweden,Switzerland,Syria,Taiwan,Tajikistan,Tanzania,Thailand,Timor-Leste,Togo,Tokelau,Tonga,Trinidad and Tobago,Tromelin Island,Tunisia,Turkey,Turkmenistan,Turks and Caicos Islands,Tuvalu,Uganda,Ukraine,United Arab Emirates,United Kingdom,United States,Uruguay,Uzbekistan,Vanuatu,Venezuela,Vietnam,Virgin Islands,Wake Island,Wallis and Futuna,West Bank,Western Sahara,Yemen,Zambia,Zimbabwe
    

    I know there are existing threads on where each poster has visited but trawling through those would require more effort than I am prepared to invest, and would definitely not be comprehensive, so perhaps a reasonably simple way would be for each poster to quote the previous poster's list and remove any countries thereon which they had visited.

    I can only make a pitifully small dent in the list:
    Afghanistan,Akrotiri,Albania,Algeria,American Samoa,Andorra,Angola,Anguilla,Antarctica,Antigua and Barbuda,Argentina,Armenia,Aruba,Ashmore and Cartier Islands,Australia,Austria,Azerbaijan,Bahamas, The,Bahrain,Bangladesh,Barbados,Bassas da India,Belarus,Belize,Benin,Bermuda,Bhutan,Bolivia,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Botswana,Bouvet Island,Brazil,British Indian Ocean Territory,British Virgin Islands,Brunei,Bulgaria,Burkina Faso,Burma,Burundi,Cambodia,Cameroon,Canada,Cape Verde,Cayman Islands,Central African Republic,Chad,Chile,China,Christmas Island,Clipperton Island,Cocos (Keeling) Islands,Colombia,Comoros,Congo, Democratic Republic of the,Congo, Republic of the,Cook Islands,Coral Sea Islands,Costa Rica,Cote d'Ivoire,Croatia,Cuba,Cyprus,Czech Republic,Denmark,Dhekelia,Djibouti,Dominica,Dominican Republic,Ecuador,Egypt,El Salvador,Equatorial Guinea,Eritrea,Estonia,Ethiopia,Europa Island,Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas),Faroe Islands,Fiji,Finland,French Guiana,French Polynesia,French Southern and Antarctic Lands,Gabon,Gambia, The,Gaza Strip,Georgia,Ghana,Gibraltar,Glorioso Islands,Greece,Greenland,Grenada,Guadeloupe,Guam,Guatemala,Guernsey,Guinea,Guinea-Bissau,Guyana,Haiti,Heard Island and McDonald Islands,Holy See (Vatican City),Honduras,Hungary,Iceland,India,Indonesia,Iran,Iraq,Isle of Man,Israel,Italy,Jamaica,Jan Mayen,Japan,Jersey,Jordan,Juan de Nova Island,Kazakhstan,Kenya,Kiribati,Korea, North,Korea, South,Kuwait,Kyrgyzstan,Laos,Latvia,Lebanon,Lesotho,Liberia,Libya,Liechtenstein,Lithuania,Luxembourg,Macau,Macedonia,Madagascar,Malawi,Malaysia,Maldives,Mali,Malta,Marshall Islands,Martinique,Mauritania,Mauritius,Mayotte,Mexico,Federated States of Micronesia,Moldova,Monaco,Mongolia,Montserrat,Morocco,Mozambique,Namibia,Nauru,Navassa Island,Nepal,Netherlands,Netherlands Antilles,New Caledonia,New Zealand,Nicaragua,Niger,Nigeria,Niue,Norfolk Island,Northern Mariana Islands,Norway,Oman,Pakistan,Palau,Panama,Papua New Guinea,Paracel Islands,Paraguay,Peru,Pitcairn Islands,Poland,Portugal,Puerto Rico,Qatar,Reunion,Romania,Russia,Rwanda,Saint Helena,Saint Kitts and Nevis,Saint Lucia,Saint Pierre and Miquelon,Saint Vincent and the Grenadines,Samoa,San Marino,Sao Tome and Principe,Saudi Arabia,Senegal,Serbia and Montenegro,Seychelles,Sierra Leone,Singapore,Slovakia,Slovenia,Solomon Islands,Somalia,South Africa,South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands,Spratly Islands,Sri Lanka,Sudan,Suriname,Svalbard,Swaziland,Sweden,Switzerland,Syria,Taiwan,Tajikistan,Tanzania,Thailand,Timor-Leste,Togo,Tokelau,Tonga,Trinidad and Tobago,Tromelin Island,Tunisia,Turkey,Turkmenistan,Turks and Caicos Islands,Tuvalu,Uganda,Ukraine,United Arab Emirates,United States,Uruguay,Uzbekistan,Vanuatu,Venezuela,Vietnam,Virgin Islands,Wake Island,Wallis and Futuna,West Bank,Western Sahara,Yemen,Zambia,Zimbabwe
    

    EDIT: It was a little unsightly, granted. Code tags may be the way to go...

    OP has been a few places and hopes the rest of us have been to the others. It's a nice thing. Having to do the paperwork to please the OP, not so much.

    You're right. I completely missed the point of the thread.

    Here's what's left on the list after I've removed everywhere I've been. Whoever has been here can thank my post and then we're done already! That was good fun.

    That's probably a better idea OP. Do separate posts for each country and let posters thank them if they've been there.

    That list has quite a few oddities. I mean, Akrotiri is on it for some reason, but South Sudan isn't. And if Guam is on it, why not Saipan?

    Edit: Okay, they include The Northern Marianas, technically separate to Guam. It's an old list, hence no to South Sudan but yes to "Serbia and Montenegro".

    But can anyone explain Akrotiri?

    You can scratch Ireland off it, Ive been there.

    Also, why aren't the Netherlands on the list?

    Fair point. I just googled for list of countries of the world - neglected to do much analysis on the list...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,533 ✭✭✭Donkey Oaty


    I've been to Europe, but I don't see it on the list.

    That's because Europe isn't a country - it's actually a parliament or council or something.
