Not sure why somebody from Burundi is visiting my blog but while researching about some interesting facts about that country, I found this: Less than thirty years back, Burundi participated in their first Olympics (1996 in my current city Atlanta). And promptly won a gold medal!!

Got my first reader from an enclave country at the turn of the new year. Well, it was still 31st Dec for us – but it was New Year in Lesotho. Did you know that other than being one of three enclave countries in the world, Lesotho has the unique record of having the highest lowest point of any country? In fact the whole country is above 1000m above mean sea level. I do not believe there is any other country like that.

Now, I have readers from 173 countries. About 20 more to go to complete the full UN.

On a kind of map streak. Anyways, see if you can figure out what this map is all about…

Total count: 54 

Area of those countries as a fraction of the world: 42%

Population of those countries as a fraction of the world: 59%

Thank you Larry again, for all the tips to make the map code.
