2207

Huh. Back when I was a kid and collected stamps, Aden had its own pages in the albums. I always figured it was a country. Live and learn.

Aden was actually a country. It’s also really close to Africa, but since it’s on the Arabian peninsula, it’s considered to be on the continent of Asia.

2209

Ohhhhh. Right, Yemen’s in the Middle East. Well, now I do feel foolish.

Since this is the Dope, where pedantry is a way of life, I have to say that based on the category title, “Mexico” would be a legitimate answer (an original colony of Spain), or even “Ostia” (one of the original colonies of the Roman Empire)
