No, there are not 256 countries in the world. The widely accepted number of sovereign states is 195, which includes 193 member states of the United Nations plus two non-member observer states (Vatican City and Palestine). While some, like Peakbagger.com, use a list of 253 to include dependencies, islands, and territories for geographical purposes, the standard,, internationally recognized count is 195, note Worldometer.
Some sources say there are 193 countries, if you count just the countries in the UN. Others pinpoint 195—adding in two “countries” not included in the UN (Palestine and Vatican City). The Olympic Committee recognizes 206 countries, and other sources put the number upwards of 300.
Why the discrepancy? In order to send delegates to the olympic games, a country must have a National Olympic Committee that is recognized by the International Olympics Committee (IOC). There are 206 of these committees. (North Korea is not participating in the Tokyo games due to Covid-19 concerns.)

Why does Severance say there are 206 countries?
The Lumon introductory video says that the company has branches in "all 206 countries" around the world. Right now, the world only has 197 independent states in it. The conclusion most have come to is that while Severance takes place in a world that's like our own, it's not our own.
1. Kiribati. Kiribati – a remote island nation in the Micronesia region of the Pacific Ocean – is the least-visited country in the world. Its 33 atolls and islands straddle the equator, sitting just above sea level, making them among the world's most climate-vulnerable.
What is the real number of countries in the world?
There are 195 recognised countries in the world, according to the United Nations. 193 of these are member states of the UN, while two countries are non-member observer states: Vatican City and the State of Palestine.
In North America, which has a country calling code of +1 , it is a common error to drop the + in front of the number and write it like 1-555-123-4567 . This is technically incorrect. To call this number from Japan, where the international call prefix is 010 , one may dial either +1 555 123 4567 or 010 1 555 123 4567 .

“Severance” is a titillating luxury TV show about slavery. Part of the novelty of “Severance” is that the enslaver and the enslaved can share a physical body. Helena Eagan is heir to the Lumon corporation, an upper-level manager, and therefore the captor of the innies whose consciousnesses can't escape Lumon's offices.
back to Severance: the theory suggests that Gemma was never a "real" Outtie to begin with. During her time with Mark, she was a severed version of herself who had an experimental "vacation" outside of Lumon and is now back—much like the mannequin in Twilight Zone. Which, if true, would obviously be devastating.
A severance payment isn't a legal requirement in the UK, so companies that offer it gain a competitive advantage. Through their willingness to provide safety to their employees, they will attract and retain more talent in comparison to those who don't pay severance packages.
