Papua New Guinea is the most linguistically diverse country in the world with 839 living languages in use. The most widely used is Tok Pisin which is an English based creole language.

Watched an interesting video on this place not so long ago. Turkmenistan is basically a Soviet North Korea (only fancier looking), complete with batshít insane leader with cult of personality. The city is built with white marble but very sparsely populated so seems empty a lot of the time.

As well as Uzbekistan, Liechtenstein is the other double land locked country. (Neowise called it!!)

Ulaanbaatar is the coldest national capital in the world due to its high elevation, its relatively high latitude and distance from any coast, it is subject to the Siberian anticyclone.

Damascus is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world

Tokyo is the world's largest capital city by area (6,993 sq km)

I can't even lose a game properly :mad:


Ah, delighted my Caribbean ace came off, I hope either it or Castries would do it for me - fabulous places, both!

San Marino claims to be the oldest extant sovereign state and the oldest constitutional republic in the world.

Guyana is the only country on mainland South America with English as an official language. Georgetown is names after King George III of Britain.

Samoa time zone jumped forward one day, omitting the 30th December 2011, and moved the International Date Line so it was now East of the country, and is now one of the countries to first experience New Year each year.

Dublin is twinned with four other cities, the first of which was San Jose, California in 1986.
