Where countries import from the most.
Point Nemo, a spot in the ocean that’s as far from land as you can get — surrounded by nearly 9 million square miles of water.
The most popular beers in the world by country.
Prefered camouflage by country.
How it’s possible to sail from Norway to Antarctica in a straight line without hitting land.

Went to school in 'Sconsin. Only "snow day" we had was when the wind chill was -25 F. Snow was never a factor, even over a foot.

So most of the Americas import stuff from the United States of America, but most other continents don't get as much
ALLKILL56
Kornenbourg Brewery, the second best thing about France.

Kansas snow cancellation one is wrong. It's however much snow stops the superintendent's all-terrain 4-wheel drive from making it safely.
CanadianLadyMoose
#2 is wrong, where's Dawson and Old Crow? There's plenty of communities. A population of a few hundred isn't much but it isn't zero...
lenient
The Canada map lies I live in the green space in NL along with a few hundred other people! Admittedly there are probably just as many moose.
LizardEnterprises
As someone who grew up in upstate New York, #3 is misleading at best. No amount of snow closes schools. Schools close due to icy roads.
LizardEnterprises
That almost always means freezing rain from about 3-6 am. Snow can be plowed as it falls, but ice on the road needs time to thaw.

The preferred camouflage image is not working. @op there is no image
NotSoAngryGuy
Not even all the snow would cancel schools in Canada

No way Molson Canadian is the choice beer in canada
CanadianLadyMoose
I wold more kokanee and budweiser than anything else
Bandit750
My father in law pointed out a good point. When you go to any concerts or events, most times they sell Canadian. That could be a factor
OaksParcel
I used to work in a liquor store, and by far the most sold beer was Bud Light. I'd rather people think Molson Canadian was most popular.

Biggest myth about Australian beer. Fosters is a British made beer marketed as Australian, no one drinks it here in Aus. It's total piss.

Shiner bock, from a small town in central Texas, is the favorite beer in Chad.... in the damn middle of the African continent... Awesome!

It's also one of my favorites.

If I visited Chad and saw people drinking Shiner it'd blow my mind.

Realistic Answer: The dutch have the largest European port, so anything imported to Europe goes through Rotterdam, and counts as Dutch.
KingNyuels
I don't think thats the case, Germany got the second biggest. The Netherlands exports a lot of oil, gas, coke (fuel), flowers to Germany.

Why is Greenland's camouflage anything other than white?

It's the Danish camo. And as we all know, Denmark fights with NATO and Coalition in Afganistan and places.

Right.... Denmark. Forgot.
alruss93
Fighting in cities... Probably. It doesn't make sense to me either. Even then multicam wouldn't be a great choice.
MidlandRedux
Danish sovereignty, Danish camo. True fact: the only battle ever fought in Greenland was during WWII. A German weatherman shot a local . . .

Ahh thank you for the explanation and fun fact! I definitely thought greenland was independent but the more you know!

In Colombia try club Colombia, Bogotá beer company, cordilleras, moonshine beer (a brand)...

I think its just the cheapest, most mass-produced beers in each country, not whichever is the most preferred.

No way oettinger is the most popular in germany. The difference between oettinger and a cunt is that a cunt stops tasting like piss

Altho i dont think the beer in sweden is correct. But maybe noone drinks it in my region.

Its what most people drink for having cheap beer. Not true for bars etc. But very common for home parties with young people.

Åbro, Norrlands guld, mariestads etc is more common in my experience

the canadian beer is tragically correct considering the amount of amazing beer we produce nation wide.

When I visited Canada I loved the white water brewery ales. Didn't drink a single Canadian, but it was served everywhere!

It´s super cheap though

So he is correct then.

I don't think I've ever met anyone here that actually drinks Sofiero.. And I live in southern sweden with roots in northern..

It is acctually correct, according to Systembolaget and their statistics. Its one of the cheapest beers and popular choice for drunks mostly

So if you look at Chad it imports Shiner the most. Which is a brewery in Shiner, Texas. I find that extremely surprising.
Durbs42
I was gonna say that, I'm a texan and that suprised me. I love shiner, but I didn't think we put that much out.
hakunamatatas
Yeah for sure, I found it odd because I know people in other states who haven't ever had Shiner so to export it to Africa seems bizarre.

Massachusetts, man. When I was little I'd watch the news to see what schools were closed. Realized it was never gonna happen pretty quick.

North Dakota as well, those way below zeros and wind chills will do it
HockeyGuy1985
Went to college at UND in GF and never once had school cancelled on account of the weather.
CaesarSaladSlut

WhatAmIDoingIDontEven
Senior year big storm came in. When there was over two feet administration was like "... I guess we can let them leave a little early."
SuperRockinMrMagic
Closed or not, abide by your driving ability. A lot of new Californians in Colorado not invested in good tires
Nova225
Schools in the north don't close for snow at all. The secret is the sleet slush that makes cars crash.
Davecarmine
Same with northern michigan... unless your gaylord. They close all the time.
Ianmcmat
I once made the news because of a very very very rare snow day in minnesota and all i did was go to the pool
TheLoyalVike
And they got the map wrong. Metro areas actually tolerate more snow because people don't need to drive as far and they have more equipment
Insomnia297
I was just gonna say! Oh, we're closing for 24"+ now?
HockeyGuy1985
Just 2 feet? No. Maybe 2 feet plus a windchill sub -20 combo? Maybe.

We got 30" in 24 hours once and they finally closed schools. Everyone was still waiting at the bus stop though for like an hour

thunderingthighs
In Alberta you just get blue days where you spend recess indoors haha. I can't recall anyone ever shutting down school.
MostTriumphant
Unless you live in Montevideo. It's a small town in central MN with no trees. School literally gets canceled at a hint of snow.
MostTriumphant
My town started a the same couple letters, so seeing it scroll across the bottom of the TV screen made me hate the town immensely.
harbingerse7en
I went to LQPV and school was never canceled.
Ireallylikepie
It's true, I've had school canceled once throughout my school years. Once, and it wasn't even for snow.
akalien
same for Alaska, the only time we ever have schools close (in Fairbanks at least) is when it rains then freezes.
Flyndaran
I tend to think that's the most dangerous for driving and walking. Hidden ice patches catch you off guard.
Flyndaran
My housemate is on blood thinners so is a bit paranoid about possible falls.
EchoOfSnac
The entire Fairbanks area was a single, giant ice-patch the only time I've known them to close. It must have been January of 2004.

When hell freezes over, schools in Minnesota will start two hours late.

stackoverflo
Schools in Piedmont NC have closed for frost on the grass and 37F degrees before. I wish I was exaggerating.
stackoverflo
It got annoying for us because they took those days out of Spring, Christmas, and summer break. One time, we lost 3 days from spring break

same in buffalo, I walked through a blizzard to get to a final. I couldn't see anything so i had to navigate by white out lights.

OrgasmicCheesecake
Shit, you must be in northern Minnesota. Here in the southwest corner, it only takes us -20 or a 12" of snow before we start closing.
MidlandRedux
That's in Northern Minnesota. My sister teaches in West Central Minnesota. They'll close for a foot of snow and six foot drifts . . .

. . . She walks two blocks to her grade school and has walked through drifts in a tunnel dug by neighbors.
