I have assigned 198 countries a number. The countries I've chosen are the 193 members of the UN plus those recognised by at least 20 UN members. Each week I will pick a country using a random number generator and we will discuss that country.

Country of the Week for week 17: Mongolia

Population: 3M

Location:


Flag:

How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

~ 2 Samuel 1:25

Just like the Mongol clan, they cannot into relevance.

Mongolia, the greatest country on Earth!

I mean, just look at all of the luscious and varied natural wildlife that inhabits the beautiful landscape:


Mongolia also has world-class infrastructure, so when you travel there you can go anywhere in Mongolia via the comfortable, smooth highway system:


Don't have a ride? Well that isn't a problem, because Mongolia has one of the best taxi systems in the world:


While in Mongolia, you can spend your nights in one of our five star hotels, that are so comfortable it will feel like you are sleeping in your own home:


Not to mention, Mongolia has a diverse and roaring economy, so if you ever feel like moving here, you can find good labor, no matter what your profession:



(This is granted, of course, that your profession is a goat rancher.)

No matter what, you can be sure that, if you do ever go to Mongolia, your trip will be a pleasant and wonderful experience.


(I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it, no offense to Mongolia of course.)

Its really a beautiful place. Plus an unexpected diversity of landscape ecosystems.

I always feel like they're hiding a giant army to reconquer the world...

irrelevant

Genghis is probably happy about this

Genghis is probably happy about this

He is irrelevant, too.

Mongolia is one of the most irrelevant nations on Earth.

China is also settling people inside Mongolian borders. Within 20-40 years Mongolia will be part of China, probably.

^ will probably be like Crimea all over again.

Mongolia is waiting for a return of Genghis Khan and Co., so they can take over most of the known world again.

Capital: Ulaanbaatar

They are developing good last years
of course they are not like Europe, but they have their own way to go

mmh they chill.

The capital is the size of Adelaide and made of tents. Hell no. It's also the least populated country in the world until Nambia catches up.

Thomas, the least populated country in the world is Vatican City... o_O

You could argue that Mongolia is the most sparsely populated country, but I'd argue that's Greenland. Constituent countries deserve recognition!

It is sparsely populated, that's true.

But Greenland is something special. A chunk of land that belongs to Canada.

Sorry typo. It was 11.42pm ya know ;)
