Mauritania

MR

Where the Sahara Desert meets the Sahara Desert, and then they both say, "Uh, I think we took a wrong turn."

Mauritania: The country where camels are more common than cars, and goats are more common than traffic laws.

Mauritania: Where the only thing more vast than the desert is the government's sense of humor – or lack thereof.
