Dr. Arcane Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Does anyone know of an up-to-date version of the "Countries of the World" list from old Danger International (pp 135-141)? I was kinda trying to update it, then thought "hey, wonder if anyone else has already done this?" Since the original list is from the mid 80's (IIRC), it is horribly out of date (heck it lists EAST Germany and the USSR as countries).

Scott Baker Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I don't have DI anywhere close to refresh my memory of the list, but it seems you could probably start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly I was just wondering if someone else had already done this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but the CIA World Factbook could be a useful resource for info on different countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Are you looking for any info in particular about countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Arcane Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Are you looking for any info in particular about countries. The original DI tables had Country, Capital, Languages, Standard of Living, Law, Government Type, & "Alignment" (East/West/Neutral). Most of this can be found on Wikipedia, but I'm having some trouble with SoL and Law ratings. And Wiki's Goverment explanations are long-winded at best.

Rails Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 This might help with some of what you're looking for, too: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Arcane Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Here's something I found. http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Government/Legal-system Appreciate the link, but the "Law" listing in DI was actually just a numeric rating (1-5) of how opressive the legal system was in the country (sort of like GURPS Control Rating, or Traveller's Law Rating)...
