The World

I have decided I don't know enough about the world.
I was in class this week and we were interviewing someone who was talking about Azerbaijan. I didn't even know it existed let alone the conflict going on there.
So to educate myself I am going to go through the whole CIA factbook, one letter per day. In 26 days I will at least know the basics about every single country in the world.Today I was reading the Bs. I learned all about Bahrain, Benin and Belize.
If I want to cover foreign news, I think it's important to at least have a vague idea of where countries are situated and the potential conflicts within.
Did you know that Taiwan is not actually considered a country?
And that The Vatican City is?
And that Aruba is just part of the Netherlands?
And Puerto Rico is part of America?
Fascinating, isn't it.
