Wonder if they know the spelled the name of the country Colombia wrong? I got this data from the Encyclopedia Encarta.
This information is of negligible value, unless you are like me and semi-look for list of countries to not visit.

What you get for the money is on the lower rungs of the world, however I truly doubt anyone cares.
