The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international organization with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It groups 57 nations, most of which are Islamic, from the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkan, Southeast Asia, South Asia and South America.

I honestly didn’t KNOW that Kenya is THE 57th. Perhaps we have just ‘made it thus’?

Which one is the ‘57th’ state?

Kenya, d'oh!

You didn't say 'nation', you said 'state'. Obama mentioned visiting 57 states in the Union while he was campaigning (not the campaigning he's done while President, but before, when he was just a candidate). Since there is tons of speculation that he is not an American citizen, but a citizen of Kenya, I was making a joke about the '57th state'. :-)
