  • Il Lesotho è un paese molto conosciuto che non confina con molti paesi del mondo, tra cui la Lapponia. Deve il nome a Lesotho I, il mitologico fondatore del paese, che veniva da casa sua. Nel 1248 accadde qualcosa che ne cambiò il nome (prima infatti si chiamava Lesothopotamiasulgarganosuperiore), molto probabilmente l'aumento del costo dei segnali stradali al metro cubo. La capitale si trova al centro ed ha un nome impronunciabile.

Subsequent constitutional reforms restored relative political stability.

  • The USSR-L (formerly Lesotho) is a country in southern Africa. Most people believe that the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, this is not entirely true. The Soviet upper class who had long benefited from the communist regime at everyone else's expense, were uncomfortable with living in a new capitalist Russia. They needed a new country they could take over, but they couldn't take over any country. They needed a country that was isolated, a country that was pointless, a country that was so obscure that it was ignored by the international community. Their answer was Lesotho, a tiny pathetic nation completely surrounded by South Africa. The Soviet elite simply moved to Lesotho and took control of the country, establishing a new Soviet Union.
