Know Your World
« on: December 31, 2008, 07:46:27 PM »
This is the year to Know Your World -- time to learn every continent, nation, flag, ocean, river, and top trivia about the Third Planet from the Sun. 

You didn't think you could just fly around in Aces High and not know what's down below, did you? 

For starters, what is the only nation in all four hemispheres (north, south, eastern, western)? 

C'mon, you know it. 

Actually, probably not.

It even messed with the international date line to have the same day within the nation.

You beggin' for the answer?

Okay:

 

Kiribati.




0 for 1, huh?

Very well, here's a chance to at least break even.

This is easy.

Don't have to study it. 

Just muse a bit.

What continent has more nations than the USA has states?

Antarctica?  Very funny.

Of course:




Africa (54 to 50).

 

Now name them all on a map with national boundaries and blank names.

Fun, huh?  Google for various free fun geography games and facts, and by all means Google Earth to overfly the entire planet.

It's Your World.  Time to Know It.  All of It.
