Estonia, hurray! Looking forward to your joining us in the EU!

Gotta do some updating.

The only generally recognized countries not in the U.N. are Taiwan and Vatican City. Do we have anyone from the latter?

Well **jjimm** , if you’re still updating the map we’ve got [**notquitekarpov**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=216916&pagenumber=2) from Angola over in the Rugby thread. That’ll fill in a fairly large chunk of Africa.
