The Congo fact was for the *Democratic* Republic of the Congo, while the wheel landed on the Republic of the Congo.

Okay, here are some more ... obscure and interesting facts about the countries mentioned:
1. Liechtenstein is the world's largest producer of fake teeth (by far, like, over 75% of them);
2. Guinea has the world's largest reserves of bauxite, aka aluminium ore (25% of them);
3. Poland may very well be the last country in the world in human history to successfully invade and subdue Russia (back in the 17th century);
4. Tanzania is home to the northernmost and most isolated Khoisan group in Africa (and by extent, the world): The Hadzabe use the characteristically Khoisan click sounds despite being surrounded by Bantu speakers for leagues. (Some anthropologists argue that that makes them among the oldest, aka earliest-diverging, peoples in the world);
5. The Republic of the Congo MIGHT be home to one of the last uncontacted tribes in the world (big MIGHT). Otherwise, it has one of the largest populations of gorillas in the world;
(also, Jack, Leopold II acquired the DRC, not the ROC smh)
6. Syria was one of the cradles of civilisation. Its capital city, Damascus, is the oldest continously-inhabited capital city (and may be the oldest countinously-inhabited city in general) in the world, as settlements there date back 8000 years or so;
7. Argentina is home to the largest Welsh-speaking community in the world outside of the United Kingdom. One may find a "new Wales" in Patagonia, with Welsh writing on signs and everything!;
8. Morocco is, according to the Guiness Book of World Records itself, home to the oldest university in the world (Al-Qarawyyine in Fez, an institution of higher learning initially built as a mosque in 809, that has been issuing degrees since the 10th century, and rebranded as modern university in the 1970s);
(to you, my dear Jack, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined)
9. Trinidad and Tobago has one of the largest Hindu communities in the world by percentage (about a quarter of the population);
10. Yemen is one of the very few countries in the world to have been Jewish (under the Kingdom of Himyar in the 5th century), Christian (under the control of Axum) and Muslim (under the Rashidun Caliphate);
11. China (the PRC specifically) has 10 out of the 10 largest cities in the world that start with the letter X (Xiamen, Xi'an, Xiangyang, Xingtai, etc);
12. Ghana may be the country with the most European countries trying to colonise it in history: there were Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, English, Prussian, Danish, German, Swedish and British colonies at different points in time. Oof;
13. Oman contains a town that once had the hottest 24 hours ever recorded (It never went below 42.6C);
14. Mongolia has the highest horse-to-man ratio in the world (in fact, there are more horses than people there);
15. Andorra is the largest country in the world (by area) not to have any airports;
16. Zimbabwe was home to Great Zimbabwe between 1225 and the 1450s, a giant city built entirely of stone (hence the name) that supported the (arguable) earliest great civilisation of southern Africa and used to sell gold to the Swahilis as the southernmost element of the Indian Ocean "Arab" trade;
17. Sao Tome and Principe was the place where the first experimental evidence for Einstein's theory of general relativity was found: British physicist Sir Arthur Eddington travelled there to witness a solar eclipse in 1919, and he ended up detecting some stars that shouldn't have been visible if their light hadn't been bent as described by relativity;
18. The Federated States of Micronesia has the largest shark sanctuary in the world: they dedicated about 1, 000, 000 sq km of their waters to shark protection by banning shark fishing there;
19. India was likely the most populated entity in the world for most of human history. It was overtaken by late Ming China and has now recently regained this status (and will probably maintain it for the forseeable future);
20. Sudan is the country with the most pyramids in the world (not Egypt, not Mexico, but Sudan);
21. Norway gave birth to Roald Amundsen, the leader of the first expedition to reach the South Pole (although everyone almost went crazy due to language barriers);
22. Panama is the country with the most ships registered under its name in the world (over 6, 000);
23. Ukraine has given the world some of its most vicious serial k*llers (idk why Ukraine in particular has birthed more notorious ones than, say, Germany or Italy, despite the population difference);
24. Dominica has the largest hot spring in the entire northern hemisphere (second largest in the world after one in New Zealand);
Hope this is informative :)

Hey Jack, just for a bit of context on the Argentina Falkland Islands situation, in 2013 a vote was held there, regarding whether they wanted to remain british, or become Argentinian, 99, 80% voted to stay a part of the UK, whilst 3 people voted to join Argentina. The Falkland Islands have no actual connection to Argentina, at least none that make sense.

(This is coming from someone who strongly opposes colonialisation)

no jack, Ukraine's flag isn't based off of a wheatfield, it's simply based off of the colours used in rulers coats of arms throughout history, two flags were used in the Ukrainian independence movement, one was the current one and one had the yellow on top, the wheatfields is just a rhetoric to remember the flag
