52. I love the word myself. It has a cozy feel.

I lived in a village in Europe. It had its own name and bus stop (on the 13th of the month only) and could be found on local maps, but fewer than ten houses. The residents were farmers who worked the surrounding fields and a few people who worked in a nearby town. So, yes, villages exist in other parts of the world, and not necessarily just in developing nations. They are quite different from towns.
