Regardless of your reasons for wanting to know about our remarkable geography and all the great places you can travel, doesn't it just seem like it takes to much time to read up?

We thought so too.

We were helping a friend study for the contestant quiz of the Jeopardy! Game show when we realized we had accumulated enough material to help out almost anyone. A student, game show contestant, or curious world traveler.

And so here we are, sitting on this little gold mine of information that took a long time to put together, but offers a quick and easy way to get to know the nuts and bolts of a really fascinating subject.

Be aware that you will not find maps or an inflatable globe in these pages.

That said, you will find the extremes of the world-longest, deepest, tallest, most populous-and the best places to visit. You will find all the national capitals and all those wacky state nicknames and capitals. You will find... well, sample for yourself:
