Most of Idaho is mountanous, but there are some flat areas, especially in the southwest of the state. Most of the farms are along the Snake River near the major cities, including Boise, Twin Falls, Burley, and Idaho Falls.

Sorry, but I spent four years of my life in Amsterdam, Holland, having to eat potatoes in one form or another EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I will be an extremely happy camper if I NEVER SEE ANOTHER POTATO AS LONG AS I LIVE.

I spent four years of my life living in The Hague, Holland, and ate pretty much whatever I wanted. You know, what with it being an advanced country with a wide range of restaurants, supermarkets and other sources of a diverse selection of foodstuffs.

I'm trying to imagine what circumstances can have forced you to eat potatoes every day. Were you in prison?

Apparently it's very family oriented. When my late brother lived there he met a lot of men he knew from other towns. They introduced the young women they were with as their "cousins".

Being older helped me get Ipanema from the song, "Girl From Ipanema" - "Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking, and when she passes, each one she passes says, 'Ahhhh'." Bossa nova from the '60s was great.

"Tall and tan and young and lovely,

The girl from Ipanema goes walking and...."

I think the 60's bossa nova song made it famous for quiz-takers of a certain age.

So is Jetpunk going to pretend Palestine doesn't count as a country AND claim Israel is a majority jewish country?

So Palestinians don't exist at all? SMH.

Palestine lacks full control of their own territory and doesn't even have a unified government, being divided between Hamas and the PNA. Lack of territorial control, no unified government, disputed recognition, so it lacks a lot of attributes of nationhood.

According to the country’s Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) classification system (2020 data), approximately 73 percent of the population is Jewish, 18 percent Muslim, 2 percent Christian, and 1.6 percent Druze. The remaining 5 percent consists of those the CBS classifies as “other.”

Iwo Jima is certainly the best known name for the island, but since the question is phrased in the present tense, maybe Iwo To should at least be an acceptable answer.
