As the title suggests, this is part two of the list of fun facts about 130 countries. (Here’s part one.) This one is a bit more difficult: There are only three fake facts in this post. Can you find them without resorting to Google?

Thirty percent of the residents of Monaco are millionaires.

Mongolia’s population density is just two people per square kilometer, making it the most sparsely populated nation on Earth.

The oldest, continuously used institution of higher learning is the University of al-Qarawiyyin in Morocco, which has been operating since the year 859 CE.

An estimated 45% of the population in Mozambique is younger than 15.

In their 2001 census, more than 53,000 New Zealanders marked their religion as “Jedi,” making it the second most popular religion in the country (at the time) and the highest per capita of Jedis in the world. By 2006, a disturbance in the Force caused the number of Jedis in New Zealand to drop to just over 20,000.

Nicaragua’s military accidentally invaded Costa Rica in 2010, due to an error on Google Maps.

Though exact records aren’t available, the city of Igbo Ora, Nigeria is famous for having the highest instances of twins in the world, at roughly 158 sets of twins per 1,000 births. (The U.S. has 33 sets of twins per 1,000 births.) There’s no empirical evidence to explain this phenomenon, but there’s a theory that a local yam may be stimulating women’s’ ovaries to release eggs from both sides.

Most North Korean households have a government-issued “radio” which literally cannot be turned off (a hard line delivers the signal, not over-the-air broadcast, to keep foreign agents from listening in). Mercifully, one can turn down the volume.

You need special permission from the government, and a very good reason, in Oman if you want to paint your house/building any color other than white.

In Poland, it’s still common for men to (very lightly) kiss a woman’s hand on special occasions, like a first meeting, their name day and so forth. Depending on the situation, it’s considered an act of respect, sympathy and/or friendship.

Portugal was the first country in the world to decriminalize all drugs in 2001 and has since seen a dramatic decrease in overdose deaths, new HIV cases and incarceration for drug offenses.

Qatar’s popular camel races now feature robot jockeys. Historically, camel jockeys were small children, but this was finally banned in 2005, due to the danger to the children, who were often the victims of child trafficking from poorer countries, and human rights abuses.

Romania and Chad have the exact same national flags. Legend has it that the two countries didn’t discover this coincidence until the first modern Olympics in 1896.
