Between us have we visited every country in the world?

[CormoranStrike]

I’ll start.

England
Ireland
Wales
Scotland
ROI
France
Italy
Germany
Luxembourg
Belgium
Croatia
Slovenia
America
Canada
Malta

If Greenland etc aren't countries then neither are England, Wales, Scotland and NI !

I think it's just these left but I'm sure somebody said Fiji

Dominica
East Timor
El Salvador
Fiji
Gabon
Marshall Islands
Micronesia
Mongolia
North Korea
Palau
Tuvalu

MongerTruffle Sorry - I just copypasted people's lists, reordered and removed duplicates! Feel free to repost the list with the ones that don't count removed. My world geography isn't secure enough to make that call

I take it these are Richard Osman approved countries?

England
Wales
Kenya
Dominican Republic
Malta
Spain
Mallorca
Florida
Turkey

@comoranstrike I know you mean no offence. Ireland is the country divided into Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland.
RoI would commonly be referred to as Ireland, its rare Irish people would refer to themselves as been from ROI, we are from Ireland. Of course Northern Ireland is in Ireland but we would NEVER EVER refer to NI as been Ireland alone and the Republic been ROI.

Serbia! I have been! It was ace!!

Noumea is the capital of New Caledonia which belongs to France however it is close to Vanuatu which is an independent country.

anyone been to the central african republic?

Is New Caledonia the part of French Polynesia?

Have we established which countries haven't been visited.

Could be easier.

It's sort of bizarre to fly hundreds of miles from Australia to New Caledonia, a French territory, but it feels like a completely separate country.

There's a list 8 messages above yours @Oblomov20 !

Syria
Egypt

Oman
Saudi

Lots of issues with geography here guys!
UAE encompasses Fujeirah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Um Al Quwain, Sharjah and Ras Al Khamieh.
Bali is an island in Indonesia.

Melanesia is a region and not a country though

Aw, I quite like the idea of Fuertaventura being a country. 🤣

England and Scotland are countries. Pointless is wrong on that.

From Betty’s list- I’ve been to Mongolia, and to the DMZ, which is the shared/neutral zone between North and South Korea ... not sure if that one counts though!

Fuerteventura and Tenerife have been my favourite contributions so far!

I also know someone who has been to North Korea so surely someone on here will have ...

I take it these are Richard Osman approved countries?

I made a similar point at 09:47 this morning

I know several people who have been to Antarctica, but that doesn't count as a country.
