Cambodia actually isn't the only national flag with a building! The flags of Portugal, San Marino, and Spain also have buildings on them! The middle of the San Marino flag has the Three Towers of San Marino, with a tower on the three different peaks of Monte Titano (Guaita is the oldest tower, Cesta is on the highest summit, and Montale is the smallest; Montale is the only tower closed to the public). The Spanish coat of arms has a castle representing the historic Kingdom of Castile, and the Portuguese coat of arms has many castles that represent the Moorish castles conquered by Portugal during the Reconquista. The bird on Dominica's flag is the Imperial amazon and yes, they are actually that purple! They're also known as the sisserou and they are endemic to the island. Unfortunately, their national bird is critically endangered for a bunch of a reasons. For starters, hurricanes like Hurricane David back in 1979 cause extensive damage to the island and thus their habitat. They also have to deal with logging, banana plantations, illegal trading, nesting competition with owls and red-necked amazons, and being preyed on by boa constrictors, black-eared opossums, and European-introduced rats.

Here's why St. Martin is split. The Dutch was first in the area for salt in the 1620s. The Spaniards then captured it in 1633 due to war with the Dutch. One year later, they built a fort (now Fort Amsterdam) and another artillery battery at Pointe Blanche to assert their claim. The island lost its value to the Spanish, and so they left after the Eighty Years War and the Dutch returned. When the French arrived, in March 1648, they agreed to divide the island between their two territories with the signing of the Treaty of Concordia. There's folklore as for why the border is the way it is: To divide the island into two sections, the inhabitants were told to choose two walkers, one chosen by the French community and the other one by the Dutch community, who were put back-to-back in one extreme of the island, making them walk in opposite directions while stuck to the littoral line, and not allowing them to run. The point where they eventually met was set as the other extreme of the island, and the subsequently created line was chosen as the frontier, dividing Saint-Martin from Sint Maarten. Seemingly, the French walker had walked more than his Dutch counterpart. The French locals' explanation for why France got the bigger half is that, as the first man chose wine as his stimulant prior to the race, the Dutch guy chose Dutch gin, the difference between such beverages' lightness was said to be the cause of the territorial differences. The Dutch locals instead accuse the French walker of running.

Wow, that was some quickfire facts and they were interesting as well. Well done.
Not only is Vatican City the world's smallest country, but they also have a RAILWAY! Yup, even a country this small has trains! The railway is 300 meters or 980 feet long, making it of course the shortest national railway in the world. You can even ride on the Vatican railway yourself as since 2015 seasonally, you can take a train from the Vatican to Castel Gandolfo which is the Pope's vacation retreat. The railway is mostly used for inbound freight goods. Basically, the construction of a railway station in Vatican City and its linkage to the Italian rail lines was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty in February 1929. The construction of the viaduct leading to Vatican City from Roma San Pietro was paid for by the Italian government! And the station within Vatican City was financed from indemnity agreed to in the treaty. The first locomotive entered the Vatican in March 1932, and the station was opened officially in October 1934. However, the first Pope to use it was Pope John XXIII in 1962. The railway station was actually the only thing bombed in Vatican City during WWII as in March 1944, the Vatican discovered that the Germans actually parked a munitions train there!
