I'm very surprised the North and North East is so (comparatively) catholic.

Here's the nice Mafia homicide map from the latest UN report I talked about earlier.

Wait is there actually a U.N. Mafia index?

I mean it makes sense to be a thing worth studying, but at the same time it gives a pretty hilarious mental image.

Dayton is home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where they hosted the talks, you complete child. If you're trying to securely host nearly 1000 people for peace talks in a highly contentious war where both sides have jockeyed for position in the media, I would think the US Air Force's largest base would be a drat good place to go.

I'm disappointed there isn't a master's degree with specialized teacher training country. Actually, the concept of someone with only a master's trying to educate primary-school children sounds kinda scary. Seems to me at least that the world of higher education is very different from the one the kids would know, and just because you know your stuff doesn't mean you're good at communicating it to people so far below you intellectually/educationally. Anyone from one of these countries care to weigh in? I suppose it actually goes for all of the ones without specialized teacher training, master's just increase the divide.

I don't know why the U.S. is labeled as being Bachelor's only, since at least in California, Oregon, and Washington you need a teaching credential.

Taiwan claims far more territory than China actually. They claim the entirety of Qing China, which would include Mongolia.

That's because officially, they can't recognize any treaties signed by the PRC, correct? So any reduction in territory agreed to by the PRC Taiwan pretends never happened.

Both countries do this stupid song and dance where they can't acknowledge that they're really just separate countries at this point, because then they'd have to nuke each other or something.

Most of those make sense for the states that have their own teams (though I'm surprised to see the Bills over the Giants in NY), but it's weird seeing what some of the other states chose. Why the Rams for Alaska or Panthers for Hawaii? Are there significant expats from Oakland in Montana? And what's up with Nebraska and Redskins?

E: Looking at it again, it's apparently just from the past three weeks. In that case it's probably one Panthers fan buying a shirt while on vacation in Honolulu or something.
