In the book of the scientific observer Peter Obraztsov, dozens of amazing geographical paradoxes are collected and illustrated. The most obvious: our planet is called the Earth, but two -thirds of it are busy with water, and real rivers flow under this water. There are only six continents on the planet, but there are almost 200 states on them. There are states that stretched for thousands of kilometers, but very small in area, there are states (there are a lot of them!), Located at once in several parts of the world, and there are a very small, size of 15 by 30 meters, which achieved independence through a court that proudly releases brands and issues passports. There are European countries that do not have land borders in Europe, but having in America, there are countries whose territory is inside another state, and among them Russia, there are countries that lose land and for this reason can leave geographical maps. And there are cards - including authoritative ones - on which the never -existing islands are still noted
