Resolves YES on all countries that I visit in 2024, where visiting requires going past border control where relevant; NO on listed countries that I do not visit in 2024; and N/A on answers that aren't countries.
A "country", for the purposes of this question, is something that has an officially assigned ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code.

3.00@Tetraspace Dang, meaningful ones where you'd have to get off border control? Also, I'd assume you'd want to take one where there's a brief layover in Anchorage (IIRC there's one such that goes to Seoul).
@Lorxus Not usually (my flight here was a 1h20m layover and was constant motion inside the airport) but it does make it possible I'll visit China this year
@Tetraspace for a second I thought you recognized every ISO-3166-2 subdivision as its own country and ISO-3166-1 entities as gestalt countries
:thinking_cat: this is actually recognised as officially true in the UK!
also on country ontology there's these ISO-31622-2 subdivisions that are also ISO-3166-1 entities
Personal reviews: USA is great! (<s>though of course I would say this as an American</s>) France is OK although it's less exciting if you don't know French (as it was when I visited in 2017), but the subway system is mindblowingly competent. The UK also has an amazing subway system (but you're from there so this is kinda moot). Canada is also decent. Haven't visited the others.
I would also add Israel and/or Palestine if it weren't for the war that erupted last October.
