No, I haven't KML'd the entire factbook. (I have, however, stripped out the area data for every country and thrown that in the description field. Check the attachment.) This is a suggestion for the Powers That Be.

I'm not sure how it could be implemented, because part of the problem is that the description box is too small to be useful in this context. But it's something to think about, n'est-ce pas?

Lovely Ink! I am turning this in to my own geography test. I created a set of continent folders, plus Atlantic, Pacfic, and Indian, and Without looking, I am going to move each of the countries into one of the continent folders.

Will report results when finished. ( ... Acrotiri WTF?...Dhekelia JHCoaC!.. the CIA has too much time on its hands)

I feel like one of the retards that Jay Leno has on his "Jay Walking" segment. Who knew there were that many countries? Well, (I think) I got all but 77 on their continent/ocean. Guess I will not pick geography as my trivia category.

Well, if we don't hear from peri again, we'll know his friends at the CIA have paid for an all-expenses trip to the attached placemark...
