Limited worldview…
Anyone watching or listening to the news these days will regularly hear the names of a few countries other than the U.S. At most about 10 these days, and most of those are in one geographic region.
Yet…there are almost 200 countries on this planet. There are even some places we all think about as countries that are actually territories or colonies. Most of them can easily be added to list of places we never hear about.
195 countries according to the U.S. State Department
192 members of the United Nations
It’s interesting that in this environment, with happenings around the world so important in so many ways, that 95% of the countries in the world and people who live in them are simply invisible to us.
