What is a Country?

After our first year was over, I had listed 43 countries. Yet other Residents (and the company founder) had different numbers. Huh?

Well, it comes down to how a country is defined. It seems straightforward, but it is not. Is (as a contemporary for-instance) Palestine a country? That’s in dispute, which is why Australia, Canada, and Britain recognizing it as a country was in the news. (They joined “more than 150 countries to do so,” reported ABC Australia.)

Yet other countries don’t. How do I decide?

Starting Now (as we begin our second year in October 2025), I’m going with the list put out by the Travelers Century Club, with a few uncommon sense modifications, most notably disagreeing with their contention that the U.S., Hawaii, and Alaska count as three countries. Um, not in any American’s mind they’re not, and I might make other exceptions on a case-by-case basis. On the other side, Gibraltar and the Canary Islands have been added retrospectively.
