After Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, he was shipped off to this tiny flyspeck by his victorious enemies. He lived out the rest of his life there, before dying in 1821 of uncertain causes. There is some speculation that he was poisoned.

You got it ((Leo)) thumbsup.gif

Canada was formed as a confederation of the former British North American colonies, which split from the United States because of their loyalty to the British monarchy. Canada still considers the Queen of England its formal "head of state", although she has very little real influence in government.

Well done ((Leo)) thumbsup.gif

If your latitude is 0°, you must be somewhere on the equator, the line separating the northern and southern hemispheres. If your longitude is 0°, you are standing on a line that connects the North and South Poles, and passes through Greenwich, England. The two lines meet in the Atlantic Ocean, a few hundred kilometres south of Ghana and west of Gabon.

A. Tuvalu

correct again ((Leo))

The tiny, impoverished South Pacific nation of Tuvalu garnered an incredible windfall from the sale of the rights to its Internet domain in April, 2000. The selling price of $50,000,000 U.S., spread over 12 years, will give Tuvalu's population of less than 11 thousand one of the highest per capita incomes on the planet. As for the other three choices: Liechtenstein's domain is ".li"; the Vatican City State's is ".va"; and there is no country called Terra Verde.

Helen was the wife of Menelaus, the brother of King Agamemnon of Mycenae. She eloped with the Trojan prince Paris around 1200 BC. Agamemnon and an alliance of Greek kings sailed to Troy, a walled city in Asia Minor also known as Ilium, and thus began the decade-long siege called the Trojan War.
