#5 Interesting name, boring town. Had the strangly dull experience of spending four days there while working at the US Embassy. The cops carried old Soviet SMGs without ammo clips.

It's just not worth the trouble of staging a coup to take over.

#6 Y'know, I spent years when I was young, trying to find Lower Volta.

It's a poor Volta that has only the uppers.
