Summary "Countries die. Sometimes it's murder, sometimes it's by accident, and sometimes it's because they were so ludicrous they didn't deserve to exist in the first place. Occasionally they explode violently. A few slip away almost unnoticed. Often the cause of death is either 'got too greedy' or 'Napoleon turned up.' Now and then they just hold a referendum and vote themselves out of existence. This is an atlas of 48 nations that fell off the map." -- Description provided by publisher.
