You will have included the Isle of Man, which is an Affiliated Organisation, not a Member Federation.Angus French wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 6:41 amI took the Europe list from https://fide.com/directory/member-federations and pasted it into a spreadsheet to count.David Sedgwick wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 12:47 amIt doesn't affect the thrust of your post. but I made it 55 (or 53 without Russia and Belarus).

No-chess public commented the information about the result of the FIDE election 175:16 in favor of the candidate from Ukraine, as a result of the fact that "the members of the chess community are generally wiser than the average rest of the population".
But I think you don't need to be more wiser to give the responsibility for so big organisation as FIDE is to somebody, who currently has problems with their own survival and is referred to the permanent help of another countries.
