Why Zambia might be annoying:

    Life expectancy is a horribly low thirty seven years (nineteen is middle aged).
    The country is landlocked.
    The land is mostly high plateau with some hills and mountains.
    Poaching threatens rhinoceros and elephant populations.
    Infant mortality rate is over 9%.
    Each woman has an average of 6½ children.
    Although English is the official language, Bemba, Kaonda, Lozi, Lunda, Luvale, Nyanja, Tonga and about 70 other indigenous languages are spoken.
    More than two out of ten adults can not read and write in English.
    Almost ¼ of the work force is unemployed.

    Less than 1 in 100 people have a telephone.
    Methaqualone, heroin and cocaine transport through their boundaries.
    Zambia probably can boast the world's worse weed.
    It is bad etiquette to have direct eye contact with a member of the opposite sex unless you are romantically involved.

Why Zambia might not be annoying:

    Many natural resources including copper, cobalt, zinc, lead, coal, emeralds, gold, silver and uranium.
    It is named after the Zambezi River, the basin for Victoria Falls.
    You can buy a wife if you have enough kwachas.
    The people handshake with their left hand.
