I'll be the first to admit that that definition isn't perfect. First, because we can't go into much more detail here regarding which other countries need to recognise it and why they are important without getting into politics, and second because there are other valid definitions which classify more (or possibly less) territories as countries. There are definitely countries excluded by that definition which I would include myself, but I'd have to argue them from a personal, rather than definitional, level.
