Pedantic Notes:

the United Kingdom comprises England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The UK is not, therefore, included in the overall count of countries given above, although its four constituent countries are;

the definition of what constitutes a country, and the recognition of certain countries is a hot political potato. I have no intention of getting embroiled in such arguments.
