Alistair Smith's Conundrum -How To Count Countries You Visit

Alistair Smith has stumbled on something ... just how many countries are there in the world and who keeps the official count? It started when Alistair thought he would visit his 100th country, however Donald Trump had different ideas and got involved in the Middle East that stopped Mike’s aircraft refueling in Qatar. So he he flew via Asia and is still stuck on 99. But when he tried to find an official figure, that’s when he opened a can of worms. Should he follow the United Nations, The Olympic Games movement, the FIFA football folks – all have quite different totals. Photo - Alistair collects plaques from places he has visited
