How the sheets count Africa
Every sheet in this pack counts 54 countries in Africa, read from the same list as the rest of playgeography.app: the 193 UN member states and two observer states, each filed under one continent by the UN geoscheme. Western Sahara is drawn as a disputed territory and is not one of the 54; the African Union counts it, which is why its member list has 55. Egypt is counted in Africa, Sinai included. How many countries are in Africa? goes through the count in full.
