Explanatory notes:
+Non-sovereign overseas territories would be counted if meeting
one of these conditions:
1= on a different continent (St. Pierre/Miquelon, Reunion)
2= Nearby, but with significant special status (Gibraltar, Hong
Kong, Puerto Rico, but not Canary Islands, Alaska)
+To conform with the more usual practice, I have amended my policy
to count any country/territory that comes into existence after my
visit. I now count, for example, all current nations within what
was Yugoslavia at the time of my visit, proved I was then in the
territory of what became each country. Similarly, if two countries
merge, one is lost, unless it retains a special status. E.g., East
Germany is lost, but not yet Hong Kong.
In other words, the entire itinerary is superimposed on today's
globe, and today's countries are counted if the itinerary passes
thtough them.
+A country is counted only if legally entered according to its
immigration rules and able to move about. Airport transit stops are
not counted, nor are territorial waters aboard a ship or airspace in a
plane.
+Where extent of visit is not shown, it is assumed that I travelled at
least half the length of the country.
