Well, basically a 'country' controls it's own territory absolutely and is not under any control from Another Country.
An example 192 countries/205 Olympic committees question would be Bermuda. Bermuda is a territory of the United Kingdom. The Parliament of the United Kingdom has power over the territory of Bermuda, particularly in defense and national security issues. Also, Bermuda's power to govern themselves was granted by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Therefore, Bermuda is not recognized as a sovereign state, or 'country', but as a territory of the UK.
The UK allows Bermuda to participate in sports as a separate entity. So Bermuda created their own National Olympic Committee and athletes from Bermuda compete under the flag of Bermuda.
Another example is Hong Kong. They have their own National Olympic Committee and their athletes compete under the flag of Hong Kong. But the international community recognizes Hong Kong as a region of the People's Republic of China and not as an independent country. Just as the UK does with Bermuda, China gives Hong Kong much autonomy. But, if a country were to attack Hong Kong they would be, in essence, attacking China.
Another example is Puerto Rico. Just like Bermuda and Hong Kong, they have their own National Olympic Committee. But the international community does not recognize Puerto Rico as a country but as a territory of the United States.
