Nauru - 8.5 square miles: The 10,000 residents of the Pacific island Nauru rely on diminishing phosphate deposits (which should run out around the year 2000). The state became independent in 1968 and was formerly known as Pleasant Island.
It's worth noting that by "phosphate deposits", this sentence really means "Nauru was an island covered in really old bird poo".

Nigh Baroness needs to put facts under spoiler with a warning there are kids in this forum
The Kingda Ka rollercoaster in Six Flags Adventure Park, New Jersey, is both the fastest and tallest rollercoaster in the world, and has the steepest drop.
Non-alcoholic cider contains less alcohol than milk does.
Apparently I had said that. New fact on the same subject directly from wikipedia:
Due to Swedish law, stores in Sweden cannot sell cider with less than 15 percentage juice by volume under the name Cider.[25] "Cider" with none or less than 15% juice is instead usually sold as "Apple/Pear beverage of cider character" (Swedish)"Äpple-/Pärondryck med Ciderkaraktär. Brands of cider in Sweden include Rekorderlig, Xider, Kiwik Cider and Kopparberg cider. Most Swedish cider has little in common with traditional cider from other countries. Usually it is very sweet and it is very often berry or fruit flavoured, making it more like an alcoholic fruit soda.
Didn't know the part about our cider being different from others.
