People Are Sharing The Most Unbelievable Facts About Their Countries That Are Actually True

Africa is not a country... Now that we've got that out the way, we can move on to what we've gathered here to discuss today: the wonderful and slightly confusing world of facts about countries that seem totally fake - but are 100% true.

Planet Earth is home to nearly 200 nations and each has its own people, quirks, customs, and "Wth?!" moments that make it totally unique. Some have laws so bizarre they sound like they've come straight from a comedy show. Others have populations so small that the citizens could fit into a school hall and there'd still be space.

Someone recently asked, "What’s a fact about your country that sounds fake but is actually true?" and the answers read like a deck of Trivia Pursuit cards that might have been written by a daydreaming 6-year-old. People shared strange truths about their native nations that might challenge everything you thought you knew about geography.
