Turkmenistan is pretty mental. There is a documentary called 'The Happy Dictator' which is good for a goo. The place is nuts but everyone seems happy enough.

Israel is a mad house. Some of the stories that come out of the place lead me to believe it is actually non-existent and just a media concoction written up by the creators of Ren and Stimpy.

The marshall islands legalised cocaine didnt they or was that a rumour? fairly nuts if its true.

Not sure if it's real or not, but apparently there's a place called Ireland where all the people are having to hand over loads of money to pay off some foreign cnuts who borrowed money to their Private Banks. I doubt this is real, but if it was, that would be the nuttiest place ever.

definitely Greece


well I suppose I havent actually been there but every Greek person I ever met was genuinely fruit loops - and they all had crazy eyes - always projected an air of unpredictability and a sort of nervous tension that made me afraid, sooooo afraid!!

Headcases the lot of them. Corruption is everywhere from their Prime Minister to their football.
They drive like lunatics, if you're caught in traffic leaning on the horn seems to work for them.
If you drive a scooter you have no need of jackets or leather gear, flip flops and a T shirt will help you on the cobblestones. You must zip through impossible gaps and dice with buses in the traffic lanes
Red lights are optional, be nervous crossing the roads.

Every opportunity is taken to rip off tourists in cafes or with bottled water or ice cream.

Beautiful country and people though

BEASTERLY

As yes, I think Turkmenbashi is my most favorite crazy dictator ever! He changed the names of things like days of the week, months and things like bread to his own name and the names of family members. He also created a Turkmenbashi award, which was won by none other than - Turkmenbashi!

Has got to be North Korea, this hotel was started in 1987 and was being predicted to cost $220 billion. It remains unfinished and an embarrasment as it remains dilapidated and empty.

I have it on good authority that Uganda is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, just the other day one of their many princes contacted me via his hotmail address and said he some overflow of monies to give to me, sound bunch of lads.

A week! That must have been eye opening. Did you have any trouble getting back out. I know they say getting in is difficult, but I would have thought getting out was a lot more difficult. Is it really policied as hard as they say, step out of line and your off to a gulag never to be seen again.

Indeed.

The North Korean government follows this idea of 'Juche'. Wikipedia tells us that it "identifies the Korean masses as the masters of the country's development". Nothing could be farther from the truth. The country is the last Stalinist state in the world and is the world's most ethnically homogeneous state due to a complete lack of immigration.

Those looking for Irish bars in Pyongyang will be most disappointed.

No difficulty getting in or out as it was all official - I went with a tour company specialising in the DPRK. I prefer backpacking but I had to go on the tour to see the place.
I would have ducked over the border but I'm allergic to being shot. And, yes, stepping out of line will lead to a stint in a gulag. And for something serious, your family will join you there.

For sheer nuttiness, I'm torn between the narrator crying on the audio guide of Kim Il Sung's mausoleum and seeing people cut a grass verge with scissors.
