I wish I had Burkina Faso. I've got 3 Ex-URSS republics and Nauru?????
Even with a map, it's hard to locate... (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/nr.html). A 21 sq km island in the South Pacific Ocean and its highest point is 61 m. !!!
They have an International Airport... and they signed the Kyoto Protocol... After all, it looks like a nice place... ;)
