Tried to promote BB by copying BB Community page, active teams, number of managers etc., when i noticed this:
The BuzzerBeater Community at a Glance
The world of BuzzerBeater is continually growing.

Here are a few interesting statistics about our community:

50891 active managers from over 226 countries around the world, playing in BuzzerBeater's 94 countries
4498 managers were recently online simultaneously
11614 players are currently for sale on the Transfer List
Question: how many countries are there exactly in the world?
This link: http://geography.about.com/cs/countries/a/numbercountries... says 195, not even close to 226.
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states 203, again 203<226.
Just thought it was strange.

Taht doesn't matter as much as you think. For example in BB there is no United Kingdom but England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland... are on their own as they do in soccer in real life. There can be found other similar examples usually of much smaller regions which act as independent entity in BB for whatever reason it is.

this count is based upon a database of different country origins for IP addresses, which include a lot of oddball places and distinctions.
