I tend to be "official" when comes to this list. Counting airports in connection is laughable.
Thanks to Kuwait and Bahrain last week, I can happily write down the number 80, eia eia alalà!

My list: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/12288031-post710.html
Been almost two years since I last updated my list in this thread.
New totals:
59 by standard count; 67 by TCC count. All have been actual visits, not just airport stopovers, although Egypt is a bit debatable (if walking across the border 1km into the country and staying for an hour counts).
Here's one of the nicer maps I've seen: http://www.travbuddy.com/maps/6361893 Up to 29%! Sheesh, feels like I've worked harder than that...
Upcoming this year are UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, and New Zealand.

It has a flag, its own currency, proper borders, requires a visa issued by the Somaliland Embassy… it is effectively a separate country… you can't just go there from Somalia as if it is not a separate entity.
The same goes for my visit to Transnistria last year.

According to the Trip Advisor map I'm up to 48 now. Getting a Eurailpass and going around would up the total quite a bit, but alas...

They only count the countries you've flown from/into, not visited. And they consider Hong Kong as part of China, whereas for OpenFlights they're 2 different countries.
