Yeah. And I just noticed, while looking at the map of Europe, that there is a tiny wedge between Lithuania and Poland that is still part of Russia. What a great trivia question - "Name a country that exists in two geographically-disconnected parts, where moving between these parts over land requires passing through at least two other countries."

There were about 200. Pick the numbered country outline on the map for each country name. I don't have a high level of confidence in the ability of Americans to score well on such a test. (Even if there weren't 200 new ones in 50 years.)

I can only imagine how out of date these items can get!
