True, I didnt even count england, scotland, wales, n.ireland.. just counted UK.

Also Monaco is not a country is it?! If I add on those along with Andorra, Gibraltar, the vatican, hong kong, and other municipalities, principalities and overseas territories .. I may be nearer the 70 mark

I forgot Brunei and Northern Ireland, so that's 14, which isn't much compared with some here.

Lets see. Seeing as I've never listed them before

Australia
PNG
Indonesia
Singapore
Philippines
Malaysia
Laos
Cambodia
South Korea
New Zealand
Fiji
Tonga
New Caledonia
Canada
USA
Chile
UK
Sweden
France
Italy
Egypt
Burkina Faso
Niger
Ethiopia
Zambia
South Africa

There are a few others that only count as they were only over night stops or airport transits.

Where I'm from, N. Ireland wouldn't be considered a country, but rather, an autonomous region of the UK. Even Google doesn't seem to be able to make up it's mind whether some of these places are considered countries or not...

Australia (just Tassie left to visit)
New Zealand
Fiji
Korea
England
PNG (Including Bougainville)
France
Tonga
Switzerland
Spain
Italy Austria
Monaco

Thailand
England
Scotland
France
Belgium
Luxembourg

So i have a few to go as well .

30 odd on a quick count, probably more depending on how you define a country.

Most fun, probably China (regular visitor last 10 years).
Biggest doubts, Myanmar (Burma) in the early 90's.
Biggest scares and near misses, South Africa during a labour riot.
