No, Quebec isn't a seperate country - yet! But they keep trying!

Well, looks like I'll be doing 7 new countries in October (plus 4 I've been to before)! But still won't make it to my age!! :(

It's 9 actually, unless of course you are putting USA in that category. FYI all of those islands are independantly governed and were visited at different times.

I'm going to allow it - you are right - all issue independent passports, so are therefore independent countries (and I believe they all appear in Fayz's official country listing!).
