Comments

That is only 49 countries and the PGC stats page says there's 54.

I believe some countries (such as Russia) are counted as being on multiple continents and so get double counted (unlike in the checker script). Flyingnick has found the most countries in total, if you look at his maps https://project-gc.com/ProfileStats/Flyingnick#Maps it may give you some additional hints of which countries these are.   (see https://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopNumCountries?submit=Filter for the other most travelled people)
