Hit 50 this week with the addition of Greece.
It's been a good year, I added three others (Russia, Estonia, Finland).
If I followed the Century Club system, I'd have four more.

Hmmm, seems like a lot of people are still counting England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland as separate countries.
I could inflate my count that way too!

Using the World Atlas list, I've visited 45 countries and 4 territories / dependencies. I'm not including transits -- neither airport stopovers nor land transits (e.g., transiting Denmark when traveling by train/ferry from Germany to Sweden).
Several of these countries are places I've visited multiple times or have lived in, though...which brings to mind another poll: how many countries have you lived in? (I'll start a new thread for that one...)

Here's a strange one.
I visited the island of Vieques last week, which they claim is in the Spanish Virgin Islands. I'll claim that one.
