192 is a lot of countries...
Here's a great game that will make you feel like an uneducated fool. Try and name the 192 member states of the UN. It's hard, really hard, and it will make you wonder what you were doing in geography class all along.
I'm going to post my results in the comments section (including all of the countries I missed) so as not to give those who read this post an unfair advantage.
Try it, it's fun, and it will make you want to buy a map.
