Countries of the World

Sometimes you just can’t do better than the best! This is my favorite!

Note: This episode aired in 1993. Some country names may be outdated, or omitted completely. It is important to remember that the world is always changing and this is a product of its time.

• Island nations: Many small island nations in the Caribbean, Pacific, and Indian Ocean are not mentioned, like Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Kiribati, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Micronesia, Nauru, Samoa, Seychelles, Singapore, Timor-Leste, Tuvalu, Vanuatu. 
• Newly Independent States: The song was created before many newly independent states were formed, so some of these are also missing. 
• Outdated names: The song uses some outdated or inaccurate names for countries, such as “Kampuchea” for Cambodia, “Zaire” for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and “Turkey” for Türkiye.
