Sorry that this checkpoint has been a little long in coming...I wasn't online the past few days. But at any rate we're all here. Except for the most recent casualty of the race.
*Drumroll*
Termyt.
Sorry 'bout that, Termyt, but it seems as though you were a tad too slow. Congrats to you for making it this far!
The racers still alive are:
cbwing0
Smanbeyond
Swordguy
A big helping of applause to you three.
LET'S GET IT OOOOON!

Albania has a land area of 27,398 square kilometers, which would make it slightly smaller than Maryland.

Albania's climate is mild temperate; cool, cloudy, wet winters; hot, clear, dry summers; interior is cooler and wetter

So long, cbwing!
To SManbeyond and Swordguy, I have a question. Since this is the final round of the Amazing Race, I feel as if we should do something special. What about organizing a time where all three of us are on so the deciding race is dependent on seconds? Of course this wouldn't work if one of you guys had hi speed and the other doesn't. Any ideas?

I have high speed internet. As to doing a race dependent on time, I'd be up for that.

SManBeyond - Highspeed
Swordguy - Dial up.
That won't work. Any other ideas or should I just do it like always?

Perhaps instead of a "first one answers wins" sort of thing, maybe set up a back and forth battlet where Swordguy and Sman trade facts about the location until one of them can't produce a good fact with in a certain time limit. Non answers or really lame facts would be grounds for disqualification.
It would go like this: if the country was Japan (I know, we arleady did this, that's why I choose it))
Flip a coin - Swordguy starts.
Swordguy - it's population is 5.
SMan has one day to respond.
SMan - it's GDP is 235 yen
Swordguy has 12 hours to respond
Swordguy - it's highest elivation is the bottom of Tokyo Bay
Sman had 6 hours to respond....
And so on until one either posts an incorrect fact or fails to answer in the increasingly shorter time limits. (I know, all of my answers were wrong, but you get the idea)
What do you think?

An excellent suggestion from the alumni. If that's okay with Swordguy and SManBeyond, we'll do that format. Guys? (Muchas gracias, Termyt.)

I agree to the suggested format.
