The compilation of facts and trivia was made after research, checking and finding what would interest most people. This is not an useful book about about every country in the world, this is intended to be a funny and informative trivia about all countries in the world, that will make you look a person with so much knowledge that you will impress everyone. Imagine yourself after reading this book, and saying "Did you know there is an Air Force that has a logo with a flightless bird? The logo of the Royal New Zealand Air Force is the kiwi, a flightless bird.". This will show everyone how cool you are about knowing such thing, or how nerd you are since you know a logo of the Air Force of a distant country. This is not only to show knowledge, this is also about the fun of knowing.

I bet that this is news to you, unless you are into weird things.
