Synopsis
The USA may boast a population of 300million, have put the first man on the moon and be responsible for Jimi Hendrix and the glass harmonica but does that mean we're the best? Dixe Wills guides you through the weird world of the nation state from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe looking at flags, money, history, national anthems and popular misconceptions. Guaranteed to make you laugh at world geography like you never knew you could.

About the Author
Dixe Wills is the author of Places to Hide and The Z to Z of Great Britain, both of which remain the benchmarks of their respective genres. He writes a monthly column for culture magazine Third Way, and bangs out the occasional Strindberg adaptation for the stage in a largely doomed attempt to appear deep and mysterious.
Review
"'Too many people believe that one country is as good as another, but only the Czechs have a national anthem about the awfulness of going out for the evening and then forgetting where you live', comments Wills. In addition to his patented scoring system and world map nation locator, 'paint-by-numbers flags are the aesthetic coup de grace'. Financial Times 'Exquisitely dotty, yet irresistibly charming. A project so pointless as to be vital to our national well-being.' Stephen Fry 'A jocular guide... Dixe Wills has boldly gone to these backs of beyond to prove that we don't need to' Sunday Telegraph"
