About The Country Club

The Country Club exists to divert its members by recording and comparing members’ travels. There are 195 UN Member States/Official Observor, and we are trying to visit them all. Check our progress on the Club Ladder, to the right, or by clicking the link for the List of Countries Visited below that. Curious how we count? Click The Country Club By-Laws link.

Deidrick Ventures Forth

Mr Sempliner,
Mr Deidrick's home of record is now updated on the Club Ladder.
During these several occasions, did Governor Deidrick ever muse about, for example, visiting a new country? One of the many charms of our fine club is the inability to be relegated, yet research into the archives of the Club (always available at http://tccproceedings.blogspot.com/) reveals the little known fact that Mr Deidrick has managed, in our nearly six years of existence, to have visited but one country. In 1990, Mr Deidrick had the thickest passport that I had or have ever seen. Why should he no longer be peripatetic?

Yr secr'y, -s

Mr Secretary,


OK, OK. I am pleased to report that Nepal (Feb. 2008) and Bangladesh (Oct. 2007) have been added to my list. Despite the fact that it was Ramadan during my visit to the lovely city of Dhaka, a surprising amount of alcohol was to be had.

  1. Mr. Secretary -- as ever, thanks so much for the excellent blog and for this fascinating analysis. It saddens me to know that I was 6 up on you just six short years ago. Alas, my impending travel will take me to Kenya, Tanzania, the UK and Mexico. Ho hum......
