News Summary

• The country has only a little more than three million people, yet they have won gold medal in the chess Olympiad three times in recent memory.
• Armenian society is nearly 100% white and 100% Christian, as most of the immigrants (is that the right word here?) are Russian.
• Crime is close to zero, and the cars stop when you try to cross the street.
• Armenia is not dirt cheap, but it is much cheaper than most of Europe and so can be considered a bargain in relative terms.
