fix(site): label the reach figure countries and territories
The page claimed readers in 204 countries. There are 195 countries in the world, so the claim was impossible on its face and invited exactly the scrutiny a reach figure should survive. GA4 is not miscounting. Its country dimension resolves a visitor's IP to an ISO 3166-1 region, and that standard carries 249 entries because it codes any territory with its own administrative infrastructure. Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao, Puerto Rico, Guam and Reunion each get a code without being sovereign states. Twenty-six of the 204 are non-sovereign, leaving roughly 178 countries proper. The number stays; the word changes to match what is being counted, on the card, the map caption, the iframe title and the community page. The card label takes two lines and the readings share a label height so the row still aligns.
