Does Jersey count as a country?
It depends on the list. Jersey is a British Crown Dependency, so it is not one of the UN’s 193 members, but Globestamp’s list of 250 countries and territories counts it on its own. The Travelers’ Century Club counts it as “Jersey”.

Jersey belongs to the United Kingdom, but travelers usually count it on its own, because it has its own entry rules, its own flag or its own place on the map. Other places in the same family: Anguilla, Bermuda, British Indian Ocean Territory, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar and Guernsey.
The Jersey stamp
Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Jersey’s is Hologram: cracked ice, a mosaic of small mirrors, the finish for places with 500,000 to 2 million visitors a year. UN Tourism has no figure for Jersey, so its finish is placed by hand from what is known of its visitors. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.
What counts as a visit to Jersey
The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Jersey when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. With a single airport with scheduled flights (Jersey Airport, JER), photos only at the airport make a transit stamp, counted only if you count layovers.

Places in Jersey you can collect
Under the country itself, Globestamp keeps layers of places on your globe, and a photo taken at one ticks it. These are the ones it knows in Jersey.
