There are, as of today, 195 sovereign nations on earth. Your challenge should you choice to except it, is to lower that number to either 97, or 98. Some would be easy, (Czech republic plus Slovakia equals Czechoslovakia, N Korea plus S Korea equals Korea, etc.) Some would be more difficult. Good luck.
