Your guess of Southern Ethiopia is so close, literally. And I must apologize to Daithi as he was correct with 193 as the number of current members.
I was thinking of Switzerland  for my bonus question, as I knew it for years had not joined even though many UN office were located there. On checking though I found that it did join in 2002.
Great new avatar by the way. |
D'oh! South Sudan, of course. I need to lay off the vino. And my knowledge of Switzerland's exclusiveness is equally dated, obviously.
Daithi got two parts right, so I assume he's up.
Hope you feel better. And, thanks!
