A Gettysburg College Salute to Moldova
April 16th, 2010
By Brian Engelsma
Moldova is random. It’s really hard to say that a European nation is random, that is unless you cheat and use Andorra or San Marino or some BS like that, but Moldova makes a very strong case for being both European and random, and that is why I’d like to tell you a few things about this ...

By Brian Engelsma
Everyone always pays attention to Yemen, Oman’s younger brother to the west. Oh, Yemen, what an interesting and unique name you have, you are so funny and cute Yemen. Screw you Yemen. Oman! Oman is random, and gets no press.

Yo dogs, I’d like to introduce to yet another random country, so grab your boarding passes and get aboard the AirBrian flight to Belarus, a center of random-ocity in Eastern Europe, a region that, in my book, is considerably underrated when it comes to being random.
Belarus is a landlocked country sandwiched among Russia, Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine. The ...
Random Country of the Week: St. Vincent and the Grenadines
September 24th, 2009
By Brian Englesma
Contrary to popular belief St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a nation, and not a motown group. Located in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean, St. Vincent and the Grenadines has proven itself to be the Kansas City Chiefs of the region for years. And by that, I mean it’s completely forgettable.
Originally settled by Carib Indians, St. Vincent ...

The Kingdom of Brunei is located on the island of Borneo in southeastern Asia. Brunei shares this island home with two other larger and far less random countries: Malaysia and ...
