hmmm, did that include anyone from here?
How can you go by that report as they have been proven as lierers
did anyone notice that Alaska was counted as a separate "territory"?
um, the last time I checked, I believe it was a state that's already part of a Country; I believe it was the United States? I dunno, I guess I missed something in school. Or does the WT do this for their own counting purposes?

kaykay,
The WTS lists by branches. Both Hawaii and Alaska are administered by their own branches rather than the one in NY. The WTS likes to say that secular boundaries do not affect them. For some years the Hawaiian branch administered the affairs of Guam and Micronesia until separate branches were set up there. Branches act as printing and/or shipping points to other countries nearby.
I do wonder how they if when they come up with the grand total of countries if they count Hawaii and Alaska separately...

George Bush thinks they're seperate countries too

I don't think Blondie is right. Italy oversees other countries and yet all of them are listed. There are 110 Branches not 235!

That was a question not a statement, so the matter of being right or wrong does not apply.
