Our Dumb World: The Onion's Atlas of the Planet Earth (Abridged)

In order to understand the news, a context of world geography and history is essential. That is why The Onion is publishing a world atlas: to help us. News that now makes no sense will now make sense. Thus begins a new age of enlightenment.

OUR DUMB WORLD contains, among other things:

• News and historic facts from other nations
  
• Historic timelines for countries
  
• Rejected flag designs
  
• The earth broken down and described, from its molten core to the outermost sphere, and the location of heaven
  
• Demographic, economic and other -ic data about each country's people, industries, and habits

Every country will be categorized in a number of ways, including:

• Ethnic cleanliness
  
• Level of Bono activity
  
• Prop comedians per 1,000 live birds
  
• Yearly income in wide-screen televisions
  
• The Monkeys they got
  
• Where it sees itself in five years
  
• Color boxes for average skin color
