Worldly Rise Year End Stats -- 2019 Edition
It’s that time of year again, and it feels weird to start back up on this blog with an End-of-Year Stats post when I haven’t written on it for so long. But 2019 was at least a decade long. However… [drum roll, please]... We finally moved into the home we’ve been working on forever! My kitchen is Box City right now, but hopefully we’ll be able to sort and get stuff cleared away soon. Basically, these stats are essentially what I did for the first part of the year. We’re in the homestretch now.

Worldly Rise Year End Stats -- 2018 Edition
I always look forward to doing these posts. I like to see how far
I’ve come and what I actually did this year. This is such a long project, so it’s
nice to reflect. And… 2019 will be my last full year of this project. I’m
slated to end halfway through 2020 (and that’s including the three non-UN countries
that I added at the end). Here’s what I did this year and where we are in this
thing:
—
In 2018, I started with St. Kitts & Nevis and ended with South Korea (there
are TON of countries that start with S!).
—
At the end of 2018, I completed the 160th country for this blog. This
now makes me 81.6% finished with this project.
—
Of all the countries I have completed so far,
46 (28.75%) have been in Africa
43 (26.88%) have been in Europe
21 (13.13%) have been in Asia
12 (7.5%) have been in the Middle East
12 (7.5%) have been in the Caribbean
11 (7.04%) have been in Oceania
9 (6.88%) have been in South America
7 (4.38%) have been in Central America
2 (1.25%) has been in North America

Of the 160 countries I have completed so far, 382 languages are represented in
some capacity, either as an official language or at some kind of
national/regional/vernacular level. Here are the ones who hold some level of

Worldly Rise Year End Stats 2017 Edition
I’ve done these for the past few years. I think of it as a way to measure my growth and how much I’ve covered. It’s a long project, so it’s nice to know where I’ve been around the world so far. We’re heading into the home stretch. Only two more years to go! Enjoy!
—
In 2017, I started with Nauru and ended with Rwanda.
—
At the end of 2017, I completed the 142nd country for this blog. I
did go back and add in the three countries that are not part of the UN at the
end, so this now makes me 72% finished with this project.
