34.... I have at one point known every single country and where it was located, but I have since forgotten almost all of them. Many I don't know how to spell either.

I doubt you knew where all the tiny ones were, then dropped to a meager 34 in the course of a few years.

Haha. I read too many old books, I naturally turn towards more anachronistic names for countries. Burma (which they did take), Siam, Rhodesia, Zaire (which they didn't accept)...
