I can't believe you'd never heard of Savage Island :-)

To really impress, make a variant version of the Animaniacs (there's bologna in their slacks) nations song using those countries. :-)

Isn't the CIA World Fact Book awesome?

I have heard of a couple of these I find it fascinating that they are mostly self governed now.

Wasn't Vanuatu a Survivor location?

You know, my ex-fiancee was the ambassador for Lesotho during a Model UN project in college. Fascinating.

Hey, Erik, when are you going to post more about the Meta4 World?

There's stuff I've never heard about there.

Oh come on! You've never heard of Lesotho? Wait, come to think of it, Lesotho IS in the Animaniacs song. Maybe that's why I know it.

United States, Canada,
Mexico, Panama,
Haiti, Jamaica, Peru;
Republic Dominican,
Cuba, Carribean,
Greenland, El Salvador too

By the way, do remember who you first learned about the CIA World Fact Book from?

I only know New Caledonia and Vanuatu on that list.

Noone's heard of Andorra? Hmm this list makes me wonder. How hard would it be to start your own country and name it Greyhawk. Could they sue a country for copyright infringement?

You can scratch Vanuatu off your list.

After Steve Probst was done crapping all over the island Mother Nature finished it off.

Interesting that you have Svalbard on your list. You've been within 5 degrees north and 3 degrees East of Svalbard apparently without even knowing it. I have the video tape to prove it.

Sorry, I guess the Survivor guy is Jeff Probst not Steve.

The only reason I knew his name at all was because of the season premier of Drawn Together.

The quote being, "[*bleep*] that mother[*bleep*]er Jeff Probst."

As soon as the Army starts paying me for news stories, I promise to be more accurate.
