    Nauru's economy is almost entirely based on seagull droppings, which they export as the basis for fertiliser.

    Alright, I had to google Nauru to see if HB was full of sh*t ( :p ). While I saw numerous references to phosphate mining, I saw nothing about seagull droppings.

    4/10, but Denmarks not there! Or at the very least Greenland isn't.

    okay, I suck at geography but I thought what the hey, I'll give it a shot. First time up I got canada and 9 of the wierd stans. Second time I got canada, egypt, and france. ALONG with the stans. I think it's messed up though cause I KNOW where canada is but every time I clicked on it it would flash and when I got graded it said that I was mistaking Canada for the UNITED STATES. I know I suck at geography but I'm not THAT bad.
