- Notes
- There is some duplication as some countries span two continents such as Egypt, Russia or Turkey
- Oceania also includes numerous dependent territories and non-sovereign entities, which are associated with other countries (some non-sovereign entities included)
- I’ve used English (GB) spellings
- There may be some mistakes (disclaimer!) and some definitions of countries are open to interpretation and political recognition, etc.
- This list was created for my business use to help manage website access in response the current epidemic of bots & crawlers which are often being used to collect data used in AI
