An atlas of extinct countries  Cover Image Book Book

An atlas of extinct countries / Gideon Defoe.

Defoe, Gideon, (author.).

Summary:

Countries die. Sometimes it's murder, sometimes it's by accident, and sometimes it's because they were so ludicrous they didn't deserve to exist in the first place. Occasionally they explode violently. A few slip away almost unnoticed. Often the cause of death is either "got too greedy" or "Napoleon turned up." Now and then they just hold a referendum and vote themselves out of existence. This is an atlas of 48 nations that fell off the map.
