There are 195 sovereign states according to the UN. I realise this number can vary as explained in the following article:

By my estimation, I have heard from every continent except Antarctica. (I know that plenty of people live there. I had a friend who lived there for three years. His letters which had talked about fur seals and penguins, had made me quite excited about Antarctica.) If any of you do actually live there, please let me know. I would love to hear from you. I do realise different areas are parts of different countries.
Living and working in Antarctica
I have now found and am following the blog of somebody living in Antarctica. (I am unsure whether he is still living there.)

If my friend is anything to go by, he will probably love hearing from people. I remember the time he(my friend) wrote about all the mail getting accidentally dropped in the freezing water and how it had had to be rescued. Thank goodness for email.
Thank you Google Translate.(If I have got any of this wrong-I used Google Translate.)
I thank you all for your support.
I now make that fifty five countries.
I will be updating this as I go.
