Chad

Whoever happens to be in charge of Chad's tourism department has one of the worst jobs in the world. There aren't NEARLY enough reasons to go here to fill a brochure (Author's Note: I used to know a guy named Chad who was a TOTAL asshole so that might be clouding my judgment here). However, if one were to try and put all of Chad's tourist information together in a different medium (say, a business card, or a cocktail napkin), this is what it might look like:

"COME VISIT CHAD, WHERE IT'S BASICALLY STILL THE MID-1300S! OUR CAPITAL IS N'DJAMENA, A THRIVING COSMOPOLITAN CENTER WITH ALMOST A MILLION PEOPLE AND ALMOST TWO MILLION GOATS! WE'VE GOT:

- ONGOING POLITICAL VIOLENCE!
- A GIANT SINGED ASSHOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT!
- ANY KIND OF MOISTURE AT ALL (JUST KIDDING)!"

On Wikipedia, this picture is labeled "Downtown N'Djamena." I wish I could make this shit up.
