The Travelers' Century Club list of countries is a list of 321 countries[1] as defined[2] by the Travelers' Century Club according to its rules [3] established in 1970. The list is widely recognized[4][5][6] as one of the standard lists[7] of countries and destinations that are politically, ethnologically or geographically different, and is one of the most commonly used lists for gauging travel to destinations beyond the UN members, along with the lists of Guinness World Records, The CIA World Factbook and DXCC.[8][9][10][11]
This list includes not only sovereign states but also certain territories, exclaves and island groups. The club argues that "although some are not actually countries in their own right, they have been included because they are removed from parent, either geographically, politically or ethnologically" [1], based on their rules.[3] The list is very roughly based on the amateur radio DXCC award criteria for working 100 "entities".
