According to the CIA World
Fact Book (June 2009), there are 194 "independent countries"
but a total of 266 "world entities" thanks to territories
like Guam, Puerto Rico, etc. Hmmmm. So, depending on your
point of view, we've seen either 33% or 42% of world.
Ironically the world itself is considered one of the "world
entities" as are each of the five oceans...! |
