People Share Bizarre True Facts About Their Countries, Here Are The 45 Most Interesting Ones We've had a war with Denmark for the past 25 years over ownership of some random island. It's fought by exchanging alcoholic beverages and exchanging flags being planted on the island every once in a while.

unfortunately the war just ended this year.. :( we split the island down the middle... So disappointing of an ending to an epic war.

Bored Panda got in touch with Jayne Gorman, from the travel blog Ourtravelhome to learn more about exploring the world and the things you might discover. First and foremost, we wanted to know, after years of traveling, what she would tell her younger self.

“Don’t overthink it, just do it. When I was younger I had a habit of turning things down if it wasn’t the right time or might have been complicated. I distinctly remember backpacking in Asia and deciding not to include Laos on the itinerary as I could always come back another time. Well, guess what, 15 years later an opportunity to pop into Laos has not presented itself! Now, as a 38-year-old mum with a 4-year-old and a mortgage, I look back at the freedom I had then and think I probably could have done a little bit more with it.”

People Share Bizarre True Facts About Their Countries, Here Are The 45 Most Interesting Ones After we put the Indigenous people on reserves we allegedly wanted them to become farmers, but we didn't just teach them to farm the way White folks farmed with the 19th century technology that was current at the time. We had a "peasant farm" policy where we gave them rudimentary tools and made them farm with old timey techniques, ostensibly due to the belief that they had to "evolve" toward modern farming on their own, but actually so that they could not compete with White farmers and basically stayed farming at a subsistence level or failed at it altogether.

When it comes to traveling, spending money sometimes isn’t a matter of convenience, it can actually affect your safety! So we asked Jayne Gorman to talk a bit about when it’s worth spending that little bit extra. “I think it’s all about working within your budget and making smart choices! Personally, I’ve always favored a mix of high/low travel. I’ll often fly with a budget airline on a short-haul flight so I can splurge on a boutique hotel in my destination. I’d definitely pay a premium for transport if it gives me more time at the destination. But I might self-cater my lunch that day to make up for it!”

“Always research the options for airport transfers. In some destinations, Marrakech and Lisbon, for example, a taxi is much faster and just as affordable as public transport. But in Luxembourg, where I’m headed next, all public transport is free. Pre-planning your arrival saves time, money, and stress.” Indeed, Americans might be surprised that in most places there is dedicated transport to and from the airport.

South Africans could not use the national flag (which didn't have anything racist on it, it was just associated with the apartheid government) from the early '90s. Our Miss South Africa one year had to march with a peace flag (white with doves on it) instead. But once our new flag was designed, everyone loved it and people even paint their faces to look like it.

OP refers to mediaeval curfew, originally a requirement that home fires be banked after a certain time (usually said to be 8 or 9 pm) as a precaution against fire (curfew is from cuevrefeu, cover-fire). This was signalled by the ringing of bells. The "first king of England" refers inaccurately to William I, traditionally said to have introduced this law. That part is b******t history though. Apparently the evidence is patchy in inconclusive. However similar laws existed across Europe, and in England specifically, there was probably no single national law but a patchwork of varying local laws and customs.

There is no exact number. Strictly speaking, differences can be found in every village compared to the surrounding villages, so that one could also say with some justification that there are at least as many dialects as there are villages, which is a huge amount.

Switzerland has always been shaped by conquests and immigration, and so very different languages have been able to coexist over the centuries. Even before the 6th century, groups with alemannic dialects immigrated to Switzerland, breaking up the nationwide spread of romance languages. Since 1848, German, French and Italian have been considered the national languages of the Confoederatio Helvetica.

This would've been much better without country bashing. Give us some fun facts without bashing and preaching. We get it already.

My country was involved in the shortest war ever. The U.K. attacked Zanzibar at 0900 27th August 1896 and between 38 and 45 minutes later they surrendered. In the 16th century, a London law forbade wife beating after 9:00pm, but only because the noise disturbed people’s sleep. Y’know, sleep is valuable 😳

I stopped reading; too many countries' names are missing. I recommend Justin Sandberg and Rugilė Žemaitytė add the country name where other Bored Panda entries place subtitle.

Trivia question, some countries I have no relation to: (1) What are the least and most densely populated countries with at least 10 million people? (2) What are the least and most densely populated countries with at least 100 million people? [ Hint: only three countries answer these questions, not four. ]

In the US: the astonishing number of people both inside and outside this country who think we can order firearms online and have them shipped to our front door. Or that it's easier to buy a firearm than it is to get a library card.

I hated that half of these didn't bother to name the country.

I loved that most of these didn't name the country. Made it a great puzzle. With answers in the comments section.

So we better go read reddit then? If they steal/reuse content, steal/reuse all of it, not just half.
