I Have Now Visited Another Country Without Leaving My House

The "correct" list of countries is UN + Kosovo + Taiwan.

Also, no Vatican City?

Somehow I didn't realize that the UN didn't recognize Vatican City.

The UN does, though, recognize the Holy See as a state that isn't a member.

It's never a country until someone here wants to build a fictional freeway on it.

Eh, I've been to some countries that recognize some stranger "countries". For instance, Nicaragua recognizes Abkhazia, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, and South Ossetia. I have less of an issue with "Western Sahara" than I do for the other two.

Unless I'm mistaken, substantially more UN member states recognize the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic than recognize Taiwan.

Correct. Which is also why I came to the conclusion that I have to use some kind of list to start with, and given that there are 196! ways that countries could have their own lists, plus a way the UN has its own list, I might as well use the US list given that I'm a US citizen.

To be fair, Alan J. Villarruel also ended up visiting another country without leaving his house.

In theory, so did this guy:

And the UN recognizes Cook Islands and Niue as eligible non-members.

The correct list is using Sporcle's world capital quiz

The problems begin when you mis-click a question and accidently spark a proxy war between Kerguelen Islands and Sealand via San Marino's postage stamp trade.
