Ok gang, there is 235 record int that table, I just took a look at that. And this table is not up-to-date. It's a table of countries for SWIFT. It's a worldwide bank online net for realization of foreign payments between banks. And don't forget that there has been a lot of changes in "Rest of the world" ( i.e. if anybody tell me me that I'm from Chzechoslovakia, I'll kick...., it's Slovakia and Czech Republik now. ) and the same happend to former USSR, Yugoslavia, etc.
