Next thing you know they're going to start calling it a subcontinent or peninsula!

No, Kenya, Somalia might be annoying to you but they are far from the largest threat to world peace. Some other weirdnesses: * Italy fears Afghanistan? * French Guiana has seceded * Really, Bangladesh? You couldn't just go with Pakistan? Had to go with Israel? * NATO nations who think NATO is a threat to world peace: Germany, Greece, Iceland, Spain, Turkey. NATO nations who think Russia is a threat to world peace: Poland. * Et tu, Australia? * Is this the only map to ever have data for South Sudan but not Sudan? Similarly, Morocco but not including Western Sahara.

For a moment until I saw those stars I thought France still had it in for the old German Empire. I wonder how much the US response to that question has shifted towards Russia in the past four years.

Quorum posted:You heard it here first folks, Texas is the least historic state of the Union. It's worse than that looks at first. It seems like almost every one of Texas' counties with less than 1000 people in it has managed to have at least one place on the historic register. So those counties without somehow manage to be less interesting, historically, than all those places with practically no one in them. Even Loving County, the smallest population Texas county at 82 people in 2010, has a historic register building! It's the county courthouse, which is also the sole governmental building in the whole county.

Cameron County, Pennsylvania shames the original thirteen states. They could probably get their 1890 courthouse listed if they wanted, but they just don’t care.  quote:Due to its low filing fees for divorces and the high number of uncontested divorce filings, it has been called the "divorce capitol" of Pennsylvania.[3] Unlike many other courthouses of the same vintage which have been replaced or superseded by newer buildings, it is still in use today as a courthouse.

How the gently caress do you have a county with only 82 people in it? Wikipedia says it only has one "town," which is unincorporated. I get that a lot of Western states were plotted out before anyone knew how many people would wind up living there (see also: Wyoming), but wouldn't it make more sense to just merge it with a neighboring county. It apparently wasn't even organized until the 30s so, like, what's the point? e: wiki posted:Loving is the only county in Texas to be incorporated twice, first in 1893 and again in 1931. Its initial organization was effected by a canal company founded in Denver, Colorado, and appears to have been based upon fraud and willful misrepresentations made by the founders to state officials.[4] After a local landowner hired a New York City firm to investigate alleged improprieties in county government, the company's organizers fled, taking with them all the county records. The state legislature subsequently disincorporated Loving in 1897, attaching it to Reeves County. Oh, I see. loving Texas. Also they had the state's first female sheriff apparently. Sounds like a pretty cushy gig too. Duckbox fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Feb 20, 2017 |

If we're discussing tiny counties, we can't avoid the only one smaller than Loving: Kalawao County, Hawaii, which was set aside as a leper colony from 1866 to 1969, when leprosy could be treated without sending people to a remote peninsula. According to Wikipedia, no new residents are admitted, but the last patients decided to live out their lives there, figuring they're too disfigured to re-enter society. It's also the smallest county by area, half the size of New York County (Manhattan). However, it's not a fully functioning county, with all services and laws other than health offloaded to Maui County.

It's an ingenious way of engineering a federal state. It's also how you end up with counties that have three people living in them.
