Those would be awesome to add! Thank you for the recommendations.
And for the record, I do not see these as competitive whatsoever. Are postcounts competitive? Only if you're weird and you make them competitive. I've only been to 11 countries and I'm proud of that. I don't care how many more countries someone else has been to, because I didn't have that experience. Likewise, if someone counted a layover as having been to a country, I think that's stupid. But I'm not going to make a fuss because I'm displaying my badges my way and they're doing it theirs.
