Amazing Race Countries Not Visited
« on: October 13, 2009, 01:32:31 PM »
I have developed a list of countries which the Amazing Race will NOT have visited by the end of AR15. This list includes only a few of the world's islands (those closely associated with a continent) and none of the small enclaves like Liechtenstein, Andorra, San Marino, Montserrat, Monaco and Vatican City.

AFRICA
Algeria
Angola
Benin
Burundi
Cameroon
Cape Verde islands
Central Africa Republic
Chad
Democratic Republic of Congo
People's Republic of Congo
Djibouti
Equatorial Guinea
Eritrea
Gabon
Gambia
Ghana
Guinea
Guinea-Bassau
Ivory Coast
Lesotho
Liberia
Libya
Malawi
Mali
Mauritania
Niger
Nigeria
Reunion
Rwanda
Seychelles
Sierra Leone
Somalia
Sudan
Swaziland
Togo
Uganda
Zimbabwe

EUROPE
Albania
Basque region of Spain
Belarus
Belgium
Bosnia-Hercegovina (disregards crossing of Neum Corridor as inconsequential)
Bulgaria
Latvia
Denmark
Luxemburg
Maceonia
Moldova
Montenegro
Sardinia
Serbia
Slovenia
Slovakia
Wales


ASIA
Afghanistan
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Bhutan
Georgia (some consider this to be Europe; it's on the dividing line and can be put either way)
Israel
Iraq
Iran
Israel
Krygizstan
Lebanon
Myanmar
Nepal
North Korea
Pakistan
Qatar
Sudi Arabia
Syria
Tajikistan
Turkey - Asian part
Turkmenistan
Uzbekistan
Yemen

LATIN AMERICA
Belize
Cuba
Colombia
Dominican Republic
El Salvador
French Guyana
Guatemala
Guyana
Haiti
Honduras
Nicaragua
Paraguay
Suriname
Venezuela

Note - Denmark was lost in the alphabetization of the Europe list. Due to helpful feedback, it is on the list again.

I decided to go above and beyond and develop a list of when which countries were first used on an Amazing Race(not in order within each race). Here it is:

AR1- India France China Italy Thailand South Africa Tunisia Zambia (United States is you want to treat it that way)

AR2 - Australia Brazil New Zealand Namibia

AR3 - Mexico Austria Germany Malaysia Morocco Portugal Spain Switzerland England (U.K.) Vietnam Scotland(U.K.) Singapore

AR4 - Netherlands South Korea

AR5 - Russia Tanzania Argentina Egypt Philippines Dubai Uruguay Canada

AR6 - Ethiopia Hungary Iceland Norway Senegal Sri Lanka Sweden Corsica(note - this is technically part of France but I show it)

AR7 - Chile Botswana Peru Turkey Jamaica

AR8 - Panama Costa Rica

AR9 - Japan Greece Oman Sicily(note-this is technically part of Italy but I show it)

AR10 - Mongolia Finland Kuwait Madagascar Mauritius Ukraine

AR11 - Ecuador Chile Guam Mozambique Poland

AR12 - Burkina Faso Croatia Ireland Lithuania Taiwan

AR13 - Bolivia Cambodia Kazakhstan

AR14 - Romania

AR15 - Estonia Czech Republic

NOTE: a few errors on the original list are corrected above as a result of feedback from Raymond and David Junior. As a result of the interest, I double-checked a few listings and added a note on Corsica, a note of Sicily and the countries Taiwan, Turkey, Chile, Mongolia and Peru.

I recall Brennan mentioning either in an interview or in a forum post, that the Fast Forward in the first Italy leg of TAR Classic was at Vatican City; teams were given the clue at the Colosseum in Rome.

same here David :(

Wasn't Mauritius in Season 10? (I considered that islands may not be counted, but I saw Guam so...) Mongolia too.

Is Taiwan counted as a separate country or part of China?, 'Cause if not, then you forgot it for Season 12.

And Kenya should be included for Season 5, if Spain was for Season 3.

Great list nonetheless, apskip. :tup: :yess:
I'm baaaaaack!

That's a pretty good compilation.

Oh and another Asian country that should also be on the list: BANGLADESH

HOW COULD YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN COPENGHAGEN? (That is the must visit place of Europe, after Belgium)

P.S. Ditto to above (though I'm not that fervent about the issue). Taiwan and China's visions have diverged quite a bit since the Civil War.

It's great to see my hard work getting some attention. I developed my COUNTRIES NOT VISITED BY AN AMAZING RACE list by subtracting from the list of major countries the list of every country ever visited by an Amazing Race. Although my actual list of that is comprehensive, this is a manual taskand there were some errors in the transfer of that list for that comparison. I did miss some countries for the FIRST TIME VISIT list, but I did not have them not on the COUNTRIES NOT VISITED list so it is clear what my intent was.

David Junior, yes AR3 did go to Mexico and to Portugal. Should they be on the FIRST TIME VISIT list for AR3? Yes, it was an oversight as explained above.

Raymond, Mauritius (AR10), Mongolia (AR10) and Taiwan (AR12) should also all be on the list. They too were oversights, as they are on my master list of countries.

However, Kenya is not valid per my definition of what a visit means. Nairobi Airport was only a place to transfer through on the way to Lake Manyara Lookout, Tanzania and back in episodes 7 and 8. Lake Manyara is southwest of Arusha, Tanzania so there is no way teams could have crossed into Kenya on the way. There were no tasks in Nairobi or elsewhere in Kenya to the best of my knowledge. In AR11 Oswald/Danny and Charla/Mirna connected in Nairobi Airport on the way from Zanzibar to Warsaw. However, again airport connections do not count as a visit.

I know, but from what I recall, teams were given specific instructions to fly to Kenya (epic flight delay screwing Charla/Mirna over </3), so I said "if Spain was for Season 3" since like the Kenya airport clue, Spain was only a stopover, but mentioned as a mandatory stopover. In terms of official visits though, yup, Kenya has none and it should have some. :P

ETA: Here it is! :D See the part of 2:52. And yes mods, if it means CBS finding out, please remove. :funny:

Raymond,
You might call Spain a stopover. However, driving over 300 miles in more than 6 hours hardly qualifies as just a stopover in my view. The 4 Dieselgate teams all had a longer stay in Spain while solving a serious problem. This is quite different from what happened in Nairobi Airport.

I don't consider Spain like the other stopovers. I said 'mandatory stopover' because although it only serves as a place of transfer (like Kenya), it was stated in the clue as a mandatory place of transfer. It isn't like Nairobi for the TAR 11 flight you said. But I see where you're coming from.

Caelestor,
I didn't forget Copenhagen, but I did screw up the transfer of one list to help develop another (I think during alphabetization) and Denmark did not make my original list as a result. That has been corrected due to your helpful feedback.

I don't much care what goes on in your house, TARAsiaFan, but I do have some comment as a geographer and that is that Taiwan is clearly a separate country. There was no slight intended by me. I made a transfer error (one of about 5 or 6 in the development of the 2 lists) and Taiwan was left off my original list of first-time visits when it clearly should have been listed with AR12. I am sorry this happened but I have fixed it.

I'm sorry if this is going to annoy you. But the fact is that Taiwan, even if you do not want to see it as part of China and a totally separate country, but Taiwan is still knows as the Republic of China.

And it is not nice to yell, because my point of the post is not to discuss whether China or Taiwan are two separate countries, but is solely based on the fact that i see it as part of China because even in Olympic games or any other international events, Taiwan is not recognized and used, but rather the Republic of China is used to represent Taiwanese instead. (Used to be and still maybe, the issues here are controversial and it's best we stop our discussion here) Besides, i was answering Raymond's question.

Thanks for compiling these lists - its really useful...

Noticed that you have Israel twice in the not visited list and Jordan seems to be missing.

And just because I like to stir the pot :stirtp: should the Palestinian territories be included as a separate country?

No problem, Joab. I did not mean to yell. My apologies for that.

For those who support an independent Taiwan, it's a sensitive subject. And yes, it's known as ROC, but that was by a government which wanted to represent what it once was. Unfortunately, it's still known as that. But again, as you mentioned, it's not for a discussion here. I just wanted to point out that Taiwan is not a part of China despite what the Communists or the Kuomingtang say. Right now, it's a separate country.

And the IOC kowtows to China in regards to Taiwan not being allowed to use its proper name. But even in the medal count, when Taiwan wins a medal, it's not counted as part of China's overall count. It's separate.

Ok, that's the end. No more Taiwan/China talk! We're done.

Peach:

I do have the major islands on my list. However, many islands (such as those in the Caribbean) are certainly not considered part of Latin America. Questions of where do you classify them and the sheer numbers of small islands around the globe have caused me to punt and avoid the issue by just excluding most small islands. I have all the big ones: Australia, New Zealand, Greenland, Corsica, Sicily, Taiwan, Japan, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Mauritius, Ireland, United Kingdom (including Wales and Scotland), Cape Verde islands, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Reunion, Seychelles, Jamaica and Guam.

On Antarctica (which is not usually considered an island even though Australia is), I too long to see an Amazing Race go there. However, it does not fit on my list of countries. There are no countries on Antarctica. There are only territories claimed by countries (Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway, and the UK) with no agreement on or reconciliation of claims.

I think one new direction TAR could head is dependencies and territories. You've got much less new paperwork to go through, but you've a whole new place to explore...

Say... Greenland? French Guyana? Christmas Island?

You don't have to be so rude about everything that you read and simply do not agree with. A place may be small and unknown and that is why TAR needs to visit the place to let us see/know/experience how wonderful and amazing it is? RIGHT?

Who wants to see TAR visit India/China every season? Since a bigger and more important place is what you believe should be focused on? :res:

Although, for the purposes of compiling a list of every country not visited, you have to draw the line somewhere or you get bogged down with all the tiny Caribbean island states etc. Its apskip's list - he started the topic - he can include or exclude who he likes. I know I'll be referring to it often.

I'd love to see a pastizzi eating detour though...

Unfortunately, they'll probably never get closer to Antarctica than they did in All-Stars.

Although, I can see it now, "herding penguins."  Would we discover a "Penguin Whisperer?"

Manners everyone please.  :(

This is such an interesting and fun topic, let's stay with the TOPIC and not get side-tracked. Discussing each other is NOT appropriate.

Michael:

I don't even have Cyprus, a bigger and more important island (or most islands worldwide) on the list and you want tiny Malta?

As someone has used as their screen name, U GOT 2 BE KIDIN ME.

apskip, i believe that even if michael was off-topic as he should have posted on a wishlist thread, but i believe he can also make a point that Malta has not been included in your list.

You don't have to be so rude about everything that you read and simply do not agree with. A place may be small and unknown and that is why TAR needs to visit the place to let us see/know/experience how wonderful and amazing it is? RIGHT?

Who wants to see TAR visit India/China every season? Since a bigger and more important place is what you believe should be focused on? :res:

Unfortunately, they'll probably never get closer to Antarctica than they did in All-Stars.

Although, I can see it now, "herding penguins."  Would we discover a "Penguin Whisperer?"

I decided to go above and beyond and develop a list of when which countries were first used on an Amazing Race(not in order within each race). Here it is:

AR1- India France China Italy Thailand South Africa Tunisia Zambia (United States is you want to treat it that way)

AR2 - Australia Brazil New Zealand Namibia

AR3 - Mexico Austria Germany Malaysia Morocco Portugal Spain Switzerland United Kingdom Vietnam Scotland Singapore

AR4 - Netherlands South Korea

AR5 - Russia Tanzania Argentina Egypt Philippines Dubai Uruguay Canada

AR6 - Ethiopia Hungary Iceland Norway Senegal Sri Lanka Sweden Corsica(note - this is technically part of France but I show it)

AR7 - Chile Botswana Turkey Jamaica

AR8 - Panama Costa Rica

AR9 - Japan Greece Oman Sicily(note-this is technically part of Italy but I show it)

AR10 - Mongolia Finland Kuwait Madagascar Mauritius Ukraine

AR11 - Ecuador Chile Guam Mozambique Poland

AR12 - Burkina Faso Croatia Ireland Lithuania Taiwan

AR13 - Bolivia Cambodia Kazakhstan

AR14 - Romania

AR15 - Estonia Czech Republic

NOTE: a few errors on the original list are corrected above as a result of feedback from Raymond and David Junior. As a result of the interest, I double-checked a few listings and added a note on Corsica, a note of Sicily and the countries Taiwan, Turkey, Chile and Mongolia





You can't have the United Kingdom and Scotland, it has to be either England and Scotland or United Kingdom.
Don't worry the English do it all the time as well.

David Jr.:

You are right. I did miss it. It was in an underlying list correctly, but the transition to this list somehow left it out (note that it was no on the list of Countries Not Visited). AR7 visited multiple cities in Peru. Also, Peru is awesome as a vacation spot. I have been to Lima, Cuzco, Macchu Picchu and Arequipa and all are very interesting.

I will fix the list to include Peru in AR7

perdfa, you missed some of the discussion at the top of this page on islands. Because Indonesia is composed of islands, because there are several large and many small islands making up Indonesia, I just decided to ignore Indoesia just like I have most islands around the globe. Indonesia has never been visited by a U.S> Amazing Race, but ARA1 went to Jakarta and Bali.

It is interesting, though, how little attention TAR pays to islands and island groups... We've only seen Jamaica and Puerto Rico in the whole of the Caribbean; and only Hawaii and Guam in the Pacific. What about all those Survivor locations? Tahiti? Fiji? Are they too hard to get to for our pampered production crew now?

The thing is they have visited at least one of these countries almost every season: Italy, France, Germany, India or China. While I don't know why they don't visit countries like Latvia,Bosnia or Bulgaria in Europe, Bahamas in the Caribbean, Laos in Asia, etc.

I would like to see new countries, as they did this season.

What I don't also understand is why they have only been here in Spain 3 times (Seasons 10,21,24) when they have a lot of places to visit, such as Madrid, or the north. In fact it would be awsome a self-driving leg in Bilbao and San Sebastian, as they're near and have a lot of potential.

I also think that for example Greece,Belgium or Hungary should have been visited more, not just once.

Is it just me, or does the title of the thread seem unfitting? ??? (I'm changing my header.)

I think TAR needs to visit the islands in Oceania, such as Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, etc. I'm just wondering about the sizes of the islands. ??? :lol:

Maldives, Nepal, and Bhutan would be great candidates for Asia.

I'm gonna follow Peach and say that the Penguin Continent needs a visit as well. :lol:

There are absolutely too many to name in Africa. :umn:

Venezuela and Guyana should be visited by TAR as well.

The Caribbean have so many islands that have not been visited by TAR. :ascared Haiti, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Bahamas, etc. There are just too many! Oh, and Central America is rarely visited. They need to go back! :hoot:

Slovakia! :hoot:

Any new country would be delightful to see! :luvya:

They could spend a whole season in Eastern Europe with new countries (Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Moldova, Macedonia, Albania, Latvia, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Slovakia, Slovenia) if they needed to save on budget. TAR 32: Satellite and Balkans Edition!
I have been to 63 countries. I have met Phil Keoghan, Jon Montgomery, Allan Wu, Elise and Bertram in person. I visited Joe & Bill in Hawaii, JK & Mike in Singapore, and Rovilson in Manila. I attended the TAR 28, 29, and 34 finales.

Venezuela: Visited in TARLA 2 (Only visited to Venezuela in the Franchise)

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Visited in HaMerotz LaMillion 2 (Bosnia is the only country in the Israeli version to not host a Pit Stop, teams did some tasks in Sarajevo, then went to Croatia afterwards).

Antarctica, Nepal, and Burma are my big three for the US.

Quite fascinating looking through that list after not really thinking about that for a while! There are so many fascinating places that they really should visit, especially the ex-Yugoslav countries which are so beautiful. Bosnia & Herzegovina has some of the most beautiful patches of countryside I've seen and would be stunning on TV.

When I was in Slovakia I thought there was so much the race could do in Bratislava. The capital is rather compact and you could easily do a whole leg on foot in the Old Town once you get from the airport to the centre. (Though, if it rains as badly as while I was there, might not be the most pleasant racing conditions! :funny: ) And then let's not forget the rest of the country outside of Bratislava as well. It's also super accessible from Vienna (or really, even Prague or Budapest) so you don't even need to fly in there. I think it's just about the number one new location I would like to see TAR visit.

Also Rwanda is such a gem. The Rwandan people are so lovely. Definitely deserves a visit! :2hearts:
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥
