Belarus
Facts about Belarus
*Even within the State Department, few are aware of Belarus’s existence. When asked to label a map of Eastern Europe, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton guessed first “Poland” and then “Weird Poland”.

*Belarus is commonly mistaken for the Ukraine, in that it has no distinguishing characteristics and you shouldn’t care about it.

Upstate New York
Facts about Upstate New York
*Upstate New York is like a parasitic twin attached to New York City, which itself is like a child with Down’s syndrome.
*I once drove the wrong way down a four-lane one-way street in Downtown Syracuse at 7 P.M. I didn’t notice it until I had traveled several blocks, because there was no other traffic to show me I was going to wrong way. That’s because all the people who would have been in Downtown Syracuse instead left for places that were less miserable, like Philadelphia, Detroit, and Hell.
*Upstate New York sometimes dresses in drag and pretends it is Pennsylvania.
*Popular things to do in Upstate New York include leaving, being unhappy, running away, being forgotten, evacuating, crying, and fleeing.

Guatemala
Facts about Guatemala

*Mexico’s president is Mexico City.
