I think that includes territories like small islands in the pacific. There must be 100+ territories across the world to make that number correct.

If you had read and quoted it properly you would have seen that it actually said "...through 321 countries (including Island Groups and Territories...".

Considering a country like Australia has 9 territories (NT, ACT, Jervis Bay, Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island, plus more) it is not too hard to imagine that the 180 odd counties on the planet have over 100 independent territories... American Samoa, Bahamas, Diego Garcia(UK/USA), Guam, Porto Rico, Gitmo Bay (all USA), Virgin Islands (UK), etc etc.

Here's some links, educate yourself before posting silly questions....
