Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!
violetb1911:
With the 30th season visiting Bahrain, we have a large amount of countries still not visited. There are a 196 (I'm taking Taiwan into consideration) out of which the race has only visited 90 countries.
Here's an alphabetical List of countries which TAR hasn't visited yet
--> Note that dependent territories (eg. Puerto Rico, Guam) HAVE NOT BEEN included in this list. However, The territories that have been claimed on Antarctica ARE included because Antarctica is a continent with no official country in it.
--> Note that some countries have been grouped together
--> Vatican City HAS BEEN INCLUDED on this list due to it being an optional country in its former visit. In addition to this, even Palestine IS INCLUDED on this list.
--> International versions of the race HAVE NOT BEEN considered for this list, however I do appreciate that they have visited 9 of these countries.
--> For those of you who don't want to see the names in the extended list, know that there are Show content115 unvisited countries (& territories)

TAR30:
The top 3 teams on the 1st leg were the final 3 teams in the finale. Meanwhile, the bottom 3 during the intense end of the season premiere were the 1st 3 teams eliminated.

Everyone keeps saying that, but what about Leg 7 (The Partner Swap)?
--- End quote ---
We can say they are the first team to place all legs of the race on the TOP 3 because in the Partner Swap, they were not the team. Jen and Kristi were in two different teams.

There is a lot of ongoing debate about how to treat leg 7 in TAR 30, and there’s no consensus. For placement average purposes I used the average of the two team member’s arrival order, which was announced on air, but different sources have not settled on any one approach. The show is pretending there were no placements for that leg since at the checkin mat, Phil didn’t directly announce one, but a comment implied a certain team might be the last checked in but that it was a KOR, thus, a non-elimination leg with no speed bump penalty.
The unstated issue is the no tie rule, which seems to be the reason no placements at checkin were announced and muddled by the KOR pit stop.
Bottom line: your guess is as good as mind.

Why did you combine the three Guinea countries into one? They're all completely separate sovereign states. Same with the two Sudans.
For what it's worth, 9 of those countries have been visited by an international version! :)
