I missed 129 countries.

I found it surprisingly difficult.

93 named ... 99 remaining (can't believe I missed Egypt!)

EDIT: Think I should explain that last year me and a mate were looking at something called The Travellers Century Club and in doing a little research we read through some of the 317 "official" countries listed, so I just tried to type some of those from memory - but admittedly, the spelling of some of them caught me out and some of them aren't actually member states of the UN, so I typed them over and over before I realised (oh and I'm a fairly fast typist/typer so that helps!!)
