Number of total countries in Google Analytics is around 230 while google search says total number of countries is 197

Number of total countries in Google Analytics is around 230 while google search says total number of countries is 197.

How to explain this?

On my one site total number of countries according to Google Analytics is around 214. When I told this to a guy he simply said Google Search says total number of countries is 197 (I also checked it). I had no explaination for this.

The reason why you see more results than countries on your dashboard is because Google Analytics counts also visits from territories as well (example Antarctica which is not a country)

Google Analytics countries report is based on 249 current ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 codes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2
