Reach counts the sovereign countries a passport enters without arranging a visa before travel — visa-free entry, visa on arrival, or an electronic travel authorisation. Both passports are scored over the same 192 countries: the sovereign destinations we hold data on for both of them. Overseas territories are excluded from the score on purpose — a country's own territories never appear in its own visa rules (Gibraltar is not "abroad" for a British citizen), so counting them would hand one side destinations the other could never have. That shared set is what makes this comparison fair; published indices count their own universes, so their totals differ from ours.
