Given that there are 190 +/- 8 countries I will be somewhere in the 34% - 38% range for covering the world by the end of the year. That still seems rather paltry even though I know it was quite a bit of effort to even get this far.
Next stop 50%? 100 countries? Finish some regions? So many more places to go still, but they are getting more and more difficult to find.
To finish off this year's challenge I have Algeria, Morocco, Portugal and Ukraine to go.

Do you have an idea about how much of the world you have covered by population? I assume you are WAY above 34-38% with both China and India on your list.
Edit: I did some of the math...it looks like you ave 9 of the 12 countries with
100M+ populations on your list, only missing Philippines, Nigeria and Bangladesh (I am surprised this one is on the list). Just those 9 puts you at 55+% of the world's population. Seems like you are doing well to me. It has been very interesting following your travels this year.
