the first player asks a question about a thing he or she wants to know about a foreign country. the next player first tells the country he comes from, then answers the question. after that, he asks the next question and so on.
example:
player A: what's your capital city?
player B: france paris what's your highest mountain?
...and so on
well, i gonna start with the first question: how many years do you have to go to school?

Nice game dragon. For those that don't know already, my location is Australia.
Primary school - Kindigarten to Year 6 (7) High school - Year 7 to Year 10 (4) You have to go to school for at least these 11 years, but if you wish you can continue. College - Year 11 to Year 12 (2) University - depends on the degree
My question: what other countries do you share a border with?

Wow, that is a lot, and for you to know them all, I'm impressed.
The Darling River is the longest river in Australia, flowing 2,739km from northern New South Wales to its confluence with the Murray River at Wentworth, New South Wales.
Next question: how many states/provinces in your country?

Looks like it's just you and me for the moment dragon. In brackets is the capital city of each state.
States New South Wales (Sydney) (#2) Victoria (Melbourne) (#3) Queensland (Brisbane) (#4) South Australia (Adelaide) (#5) Western Australia (Perth) (#6) Tasmania (Hobart) (#7)
Territories Australian Capital Territory (Canberra) (#1) Northern Territory (Darwin) (#8)
Additional: The states originated as separate British colonies prior to Federation (in 1901). Their powers are protected by the Australian constitution, and Commonwealth legislation only applies to the states where permitted by the constitution. The territories, by contrast, are from a constitutional perspective directly subject to the Commonwealth government. The Australian Parliament has powers to legislate in the territories that it does not possess in the states.
More interesting information: Western Australia is Australia's largest state in area, covering the western third of the mainland, and is bordered by South Australia and the Northern Territory. It is, after the Sakha Republic in Russia, the second largest subnational entity (Statoid) in the world. The capital city, Perth, is one of the most isolated cities of its size on the planet.
Want you to learn as much as possible, even I didn't know some of this.
Next question: What's the population of your country?

^ It's not that, I just didn't know the word meaning.
Australian demography According to population projections from the Australian Bureau of statistics, the percentage of people over 50 will continue to grow and become a dominant influence in Australian society in the future.
The proportion of the population under 15 years is projected to fall from 20% at June 2002 to between 12-15% by 2051.
The population aged 65 years and over will increase from 13% at June 2002 to between 27% and 30% by 2051.
The proportion of the population aged 85 years and older will increase from 1.5% at June 2002 to between 6 and 9% by 2051. This age group will experience the highest growth rates of all age groups. Women in Australia tend to live longer than men.
Consequently, women make up a greater proportion of Australians (65%), and their predominance increases with age. In 2001 the proportion of women in the 65-74, 75-84, and 85 and over age categories were 52%, 58% and 69% respectively.

our president is Horst Köhler but he has no real political power. his function is to represent. the real political power is in the hands of Angela Merkel, our chancellor.
