    new world countries, and maybe Georgia, only reason i even found out about georgia was because of Tom Clancy's splinter cell, which i later followed up by learning how they broke away from Russia, seems like it doesn't do much on the international or financial (AFAIK) scale, and if doesn't do anything on those scales, no one will miss it

    Both male and female walruses have tusks and have been observed using these overgrown teeth to help pull themselves out of the water.

    The mustached and long-tusked walrus is most often found near the Arctic Circle, lying on the ice with hundreds of companions. These marine mammals are extremely sociable, prone to loudly bellowing and snorting at one another, but are aggressive during mating season. With wrinkled brown and pink hides, walruses are distinguished by their long white tusks, grizzly whiskers, flat flipper, and bodies full of blubber.
    Walruses use their iconic long tusks for a variety of reasons, each of which makes their lives in the Arctic a bit easier. They use them to haul their enormous bodies out of frigid waters, thus their "tooth-walking" label, and to break breathing holes into ice from below. Their tusks, which are found on both males and females, can extend to about three feet (one meter), and are, in fact, large canine teeth, which grow throughout their lives. Male walruses, or bulls, also employ their tusks aggressively to maintain territory and, during mating season, to protect their harems of females, or cows.
    The walrus' other characteristic features are equally useful. As their favorite meals, particularly shellfish, are found near the dark ocean floor, walruses use their extremely sensitive whiskers, called mustacial vibrissae, as detection devices. Their blubbery bodies allow them to live comfortably in the Arctic region—walruses are capable of slowing their heartbeats in order to withstand the polar temperatures of the surrounding waters.
    The two subspecies of walrus are divided geographically. Atlantic walruses inhabit coastal areas from northeastern Canada to Greenland, while Pacific walruses inhabit the northern seas off Russia and Alaska, migrating seasonally from their southern range in the Bering Sea—where they are found on the pack ice in winter—to the Chukchi Sea. Female Pacific walruses give birth to calves during the spring migration north.
    Only Native Americans are currently allowed to hunt walruses, as the species' survival was threatened by past overhunting. Their tusks, oil, skin, and meat were so sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries that the walrus was hunted to extinction in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and around Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia.

    I can't think of a single thing I use in my daily life that comes from there. Same goes for Iceland and Togo but those countries don't cause trouble.

    *Sigh*
    As long as we're going there:
    Israelis invented the ICQ; Israel is ranked #2 in the world for venture capital funds right behind the US; Israeli scientists developed the first fully computerized,no-radiation, diagnostic instrumentation for breast cancer; Israelis invented the first ingestible video camera and drip irrigation; the mobile phone was developed in Israel by Motorola (which has its largest development center in Israel); voice mail technology was developed in Israel; the AOL Instant Messenger was developed in 1996 by four young Israelis; an Israeli company was the one that developed and installed the world's first large-scale solar-powered and fully functional electricity generating plant, in southern California's Mojave desert; Israel has the largest number of startup companies than any other country in the world, except the US - I think I made my point.

    Israel is less useless than Togo...

    A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.

    A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."
