1. Mediterranean sea overlaid onto the US.
2. Brazil had straight borders in 1534.
3. What do you call the night before Halloween?
4. Birthplaces of the 100 Fastest 1500m Runners of All Time
5. Countries where PH is banned.
6. Ignoring aspects like culture and demographics, Europe is the largest peninsula in the world.
