Mr. beckwall is very good at naming all the countries of the world, including present and past names and capital cities. Last night, we were talking about changes in Asia and he asked me to name all the -stan countries. I said tentatively “Pakistan and Afghanistan and Ubekistan”, and he said keep going. Anyway, I was in a goofy mood, so I came up with some new countries. Here they are:

Titicacastan - known for its large lake and earthquakes

Sharapovastan - she’s rich, she can buy her own country

Macinacastan - land of many bridges

Ipecacastan - proud yet overly queasy population

Crackastan - all the men wear low rider jeans and tool belts (you didn’t think I was talking about drugs now, did you?)

Talkingsmackastan - all sentences begin with a put-down of some sort
Anyone want to play? I swear, if I get 200 views and no replies, I’m moving to the country of Sadness (I got nothing else).

Oliverstan - they agree to reverse billings when it was first names
