Feel free to send a scout to attack a province, place him in the back, and set his orders to retreat. This will give you an exact count.

I always set the 0 command to retreat because every scout should be given this command in case they are discovered on the border.

Just a quick caveat to this tip... A retreating unit with out a neighboring, friendly province to retreat to will automatically be killed. So, this suggestion really only works for border provinces unless you're OK with loosing the scout.
