Hi I love the website but have one little point to make. Any list of countries I have seen usually equates to around 194ish. These are usually designated as the UN countries plus Vatican and Taiwan. Then there are other lists that contain dependencies and territories etc.
I would like some functionality added that subdives your 248 list into 1. UN countries, 2.Dependencies etc of those countries in 1. 3.Disputed Regions (like Western Sahara) and Other (Antartica, Palestine, Taiwan, Vatican etc). This would be consistent with other country lists I have seen.

Just a thought.
