List of countries in 1800


An indiscriminate, incomplete and probably incompletable list based on someone's idea of what makes a "country". This is difficult even nowadays (see List of sovereign states) and even harder 211 years ago. The list includes an Emirate and a Colony but doesn't include any Principalities, Duchies or Empires etc. And why the year 1800 in particular? Unlike the entries in Lists of countries and territories this is uninformative, unencyclopaedic and unusable. Fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE. andy (talk) 11:21, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
