Of course, it is a very small country, but it is number one with four CFA charterholders.

The next largest is the Cayman Islands.

And then it also is number one, the Vatican, in two other finance metrics, 12% of the total population Vatican City work in finance.

Perfect for breaking the awkward silence during a dinner party or a Zoom meeting.

First up, I didn't believe this one at first, but it turned out to be true.

There are only two escalators in the great state of Wyoming, both at Banks and Casper.

There are barely any malls.

There are only three shopping malls in Wyoming, Frontier Mall in Cheyenne, East Ride Mall in Casper and White Mountain Mall in Rock Springs.

And none of them has an escalator.
