It doesn't cross ANY countries. That was done intentionally when the line was drawn, in order
to avoid splitting any single country, city, or island into two dates and days of the week.

The International Date Lines roughly follows the 180

The International Date Line is nominally the line of 180 degrees longitude,

both east and west ... exactly opposite the Prime Meridian and half-the-earth

away from it.

However, the Line was drawn with jogs. zigs, and zags in it, to avoid having it

split states, island nations, or contiguous areas of national interest. The Pacific

island nation of Kiribati was originally split by the date line, but in 1995 defined

its eastern half to have the same calendar date as its western half, which in effect

shifted another piece of the International Date Line to miss all of Kiribati.

So, before 1995, the answer to the question was "One", and since 1995, the answer

has been "None".

If you've ever had a problem with a scheduled homework assignment, a deadline

for a term paper, a scheduled final examination, a doctor or dentist appointment

during a work-day, or a business meeting in another city, can you just imagine

what life would be like if two sides of the same state or the same city had two

different calendar dates ?

The International Dateline doesn't cross any city, state, country, or island group.

It was intentionally planned that way, in order to avoid splitting any of them into

two different calendar dates.

The International Date Lines roughly follows the 180° longitude line but deviates to pass around some territories and island groups. It deviates such that it doesn't cross any countries. In fact it was created such that all of Russia territory is west of the IDL and all of the USA is to the east.

None are. The Dateline has been defined with zigs and zags in it especially to avoid

splitting any single country, state, or island group into two different calendar dates.
