- Las Ketchup -- Ketchup Song
Macarena II: Ketchup song Las Ketchup - a Spanish girl-group - has recorded an international pop hit ("The Ketchup Song") that comes complete with an irritating group dance. CNN describes it as the next Macarena. Their song, known in Spanish as "Asereje," bases its lyrics on snippets from the 1979 classic "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugar Hill Gang, but transmogrifies them with a staccato twist from Las Ketchup's native Andalusia region. Teenagers in Kosovo love it. One Danish Internet portal offers the melody for downloading as a cell phone beep. And a version in Mandarin Chinese is planned for the world's most populous nation.

Situated in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar, Mauritius is an island of rich cultural diversity, having been occupied by the Dutch, French and British successively before gaining independence in the late 60’s. Most of the holidays in Mauritius are centred on the islands' magnificent coastline, with a whole host of great resorts featuring excellent beaches. - Merengue
The Merengue is the national dance of the Dominican Republic, and ... to some extent, of Haiti, the neighbour sharing the island. There are two popular versions of the of the origin of the Dominican national dance, the Merengue. One story alleges the dance originated with slaves who were chained together and, of necessity, were forced to drag one leg as they cut sugar to the beat of drums. The second story alleges that a great hero was wounded in the leg during one of the many revolutions in the Dominican Republic. A party of villagers welcomed him home with a victory celebration and, out of sympathy, everyone dancing felt obliged to limp and drag one foot. Merengue has existed since the early years of the Dominican Republic (in Haiti, a similar dance is called the Meringue). - Yazoo
The Yazoo land fraud was one of the most significant events in the post-Revolutionary history of Georgia. The bizarre climax to a decade of frenzied speculation in the state's public lands, the Yazoo sale of 1795 did much to shape Georgia politics and to strain relations with the federal government for a generation. - Gibraltar
In the 1700s Gibraltar was captured by evil fascist money laundering pirates who spoke Gibberish and were sent by the evil General Franco. The day was saved by James Bond who used his secret agent British skills to trick the pirates into jumping off the top of the rock like lemmings. From that day on Gibraltar's people have been British and drank tea and ate crumpets with the rest of them. It was agreed it would be British forever under the Treaty of Utrecht and the Spanish have been trying to break that ever since. The Gibraltar national anthem was "La Macarena", but as everyone is now thoroughly fed up of it, they have adopted a new anthem, thought to closely resemble the "Ketchup Song". Unfortunately... no-one knows the words to it so you get a lot of humming and "la la la's" and "Lloyd George knew my father" thrown in. - South America
South America is a unique synthesis of ancient histories and post-modern societies. Archeological excavations suggest that just as on most other worlds of the ITA, the South American continent was first settled by Native Americans along the Pacific coastline of the continent anywhere from ten thousand to twenty thousand years before the present. Over millennia, the Native American populations of the Andes mountains gradually began to develop sophisticated civilizations. By the beginning of the Common Era, sophisticated kingdoms had coalesced along the desert coasts and in the fertile valleys of the Andean highlands. These civilizations reached their pinnacle in the 15th century with the creation of the Incan Empire, a unified imperial state that controlled most of western South America. - South America -- South American
An early obstacle to industrial growth in South America was the scarcity of coal. The continent has therefore relied on its petroleum reserves, most notably in Venezuela and ... in Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, and Ecuador, as a source of fuel. South Americans also have gradually developed their natural-gas reserves; hydroelectric plants produce most of the continent's electricity. Iron-ore deposits are plentiful in the Guiana and Brazilian highlands, and copper is abundant in the central Andes mountain region of Chile and Peru. Other important mineral resources include tin in Bolivia, manganese and gold in Brazil, and bauxite in Guyana and Suriname. - Madonna
Madonna is one of the most recognizable names in the world – and not just the world of music. She became the first multimedia pop icon, crossing from dance-oriented pop music into movies, television, videos, fashion and books while achieving a level of celebrity comparable to that of a primary inspiration, Marilyn Monroe. Madonna has been a ubiquitous and, at times, controversial figure since erupting on the scene with her debut single, Everybody,” in 1982. No one in the pop realm has manipulated the media with such a savvy sense of self-promotion. Yet Madonna’s career has always had a solid musical footing, and her life – ... outrageous and calculated at certain points – has proceeded on an unfolding path of self-discovery and open-hearted revelation.
