Today, we focused on sharing interesting facts we found in CIA World Factbook. My classmates found a lot of interesting facts. Pitcairn Island is the country which has the fewest population in the world, which is 48. They don't have military. They were provided with protect by UK. Their main economic source is selling the stamps. Syria is the country which has the lowest net migration rate which is -113. That means 11.3% of total population are leaving. However, Lebanon has highest net migration rate which is 83. Actually, most the immigrants come from Syria. Mr. Schick also mentioned how bad the situation is in Africa. Top 10 countries which has most infants who can not survive longer than 1 year are African countries. Besides, lots of countries in Africa have problem on drinking. There are some countries in which most people don't have pure water to drink. They have to travel far away to get polluted water, which will cause so many deceases. That's why there are so many infants died before their first birthday. That's a very sad news. The interesting fact I found is that population of India is just 12 million fewer than China. But India has 19.89 birth rate which is 7 greater than China. And death rate for countries is almost same, which means India will soon become the first country that has greater population than China.
