45 Mauritius
chessman : So, as you pointed out, Reunion is not a country. Let's include it anyway, so the total could be 55. I will check this out, what the actual number is.
45 Mauritius : close to Réunion, but this one is an independant country. It has a mixed French and English heritage. French = Ile Maurice

47 Somaliland
From your list, chessman, I see Somalia, already named, but there is this part of Somalia that is trying to secede, called Somaliland (the northern part), so let's include it alongside Western Sahara as a would be country.
