today's geography lesson

All of the following, I learn from today's NY Times, are actual provinces in the Caucasus:

Adygeya
Tatarstan
Bashkortostan
Kabardino-Balkariya
Karchayevo-Cherkesiya
Nagorno-Karabakh

And of course our old friends Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Chechnya.

If only they could all be independent, then the UN could top 200 members and truly become... even more inefficient than it is today.
