This is a book about every country in the world, most of the information are fun facts and trivia or just simple information. This is not an encyclopedia and it includes a variety of facts about each country. Depending on the facts that could be found and are considered interesting, some countries have such a love for football/soccer, which I could not write about Uruguay without writing about the FIFA World Cup in 1950.The compilation of facts and trivia was made after research, checking and finding what would interest most people. This is not an useful book about about every country in the world, this is intended to be a funny and informative trivia about all countries in the world, that will make you look a person with so much knowledge that you will impress everyone.Imagine yourself after reading this book, and saying "Did you know there is an Air Force that has a logo with a flightless bird? The logo of the Royal New Zealand Air Force is the kiwi, a flightless bird.". This will show everyone how cool you are about knowing such thing, or how nerd you are since you know a logo of the Air Force of a distant country.This is not only to show knowledge, this is also about the fun of knowing. Did you know that the most popular TV show in Senegal is a sheep beauty contest, Khar Bii, a reality television show consisting of a search for Senegal's most beautiful ram. I bet that this is news to you, unless you are into weird things.… (altro)

Fun is right! Instead of generalizing, let me give you some ABCs:
All Andorrans by law must keep a rifle at their home or will have one loaned to them in case of emergency.
All children in Armenia aged 6 and up have CHESS as a mandatory part of the curriculum. There's a stone structure similar to Stonehenge that is actually 3500 years OLDER than Stonehenge.
The largest KFC in the world is housed in an old railway station in Azerbaijan.
From 2006 to 2008 the Royal Bahamas Air Force had only one plane but no trained pilot to fly it.
In Belize a speed bump is called a "Sleeping Policeman"
Brazil prisons offer the prisoners to reduce sentence for 4 days (up to 48 days/year) for every BOOK they read and report on.
Brunei government owns a cattle ranch in Australia larger than Brunei itself.
Angkor Wat in Kampuchea is 80 times larger than St Peter Basilica and at least 3.5 times the size of Vatican City.
The tap water in Canada is held to a higher health standard than bottled water.
And lots more fun stuff even in the ABCs, let alone the rest!
In Zambia, foreigners have been jailed and had their passports confiscated for possession of the illegal drug BENADRYL.
I am thankful to have won an ebook copy in a Goodreads Giveaway. ( )

Book for light reading and updating one's general knowledge about countries of the world. Not sure about the authenticity of the facts stated, but they make an interesting reading reading. ( )
