Apparently these 8 countries are the most boring in the world as I have no interesting facts to mention about any of them. If anyone would like to provide any please feel free .

Jaysus - you could at least spell the wrong answer right when it's in the question!:p

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)

HeidiHeidi

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.
