Numbers of Groups of People
Kpalime, Togo West Africa
Saturday, March 31, 2007

There are various groups of people on the planet. I wish I could just say, this and that and define all the groups.

Caste
Tribe
Country
Race
Color
Religion
Language
State, Island, Enclave, Autonomous, Protectorate, etc.

And, now money, I have realized, money is a way of grouping people.

303 Countries
Money of the planet.
Now, I am using the Xe.com page to try to sift and sort of find more countries.

I see lines are drawn or really there is a coming to together of people and agreeing to the same culture of money. I was having a chat with a coder or techie, boy Genius from India. We are trying to convert local currencies to about four, or more of the major money groups on HoboHideOut.com. Maybe Dollars, Euros, Yen and maybe Pounds, but not yet decided, so open. I am working on a list of all the accommodations or places to sleep on the planet, around 20-40 million minimum where a tourist or traveler could sleep.

I thought, another list of countries, I am in a constant endeavor to count the number of countries on the planet, it just is not as easy as it seems. I have taken many a list, I am guessing around 311.

I work and push, shove, mix and match to collect and identify the number of countries or think in some way of a method to separate land people into groups.

SOURCES from best to worst, note the United Nations sort of only deals with its own, and to me is not very comprehensive. The languages of the world is much better as looking at separations. However what separates or brings together is business, commerce and money in the end. It seems to be the universal need, religions are in a way annoying as they cause the most arguments. When people speak the same language they come together. A problem develops from groups having different Motorcycle Gang Colors and stripes, clothes, logos and signs of memberships, and such, there are cults, ideas, and violently enforced rules of races, groups and societies.

This is serious business, and understand how or why we are the same or different may bring us closer or drive us apart. To me the solution lies in trying to all be more or less dressed and acting similar, not trying to be different but more or less blend. When a person tells me how they are better or this is better, I see this as the start of a problem, we are equal and everyone can improve.

Religions seem to cause most wars, then maybe money, fighting over who gets to collect money from people.

This is for fun and to make a webpages, however to care about the difference of people is not important, to care about why we are the same, that seems to be a solution.

BEST is this:
673 countries, territories, autonomous regions, enclaves, geographically separated island groups, and major states and provinces of the world

Andy,Money is a good way to look at it from a traveler perspective. I suppose one could potentially organize their path to minimize the frequency of currency exchanges.Beside the official currency, shouldn't the currencies accepted and/or currencies most used in transactions also be included to determine group associations?Eric
