A Day in Between

Well, yesterday our family came home from our vacation, and today I'm going to another camp. Couldn't come up with anything really good to talk about, so any real serious posts will have to come Saturday.

 

Upon coming home, I discovered that there was this new thing called "badglets". Immediately taking to them, I now have 13 of them. And that was only a 1 deal day.

 

And since I didn't come up with a spectacular puzzle, here is a more trivial challenge.

 

 

Our Dumb World is a 200+ page atlas created by The Onion. The atlas has information on every single country, and some of the information includes the nation's flag. Each flag has a caption underneath with some humorous message. Below are 20 captions that are underneath the flags. You have to determine the country. For record, I did not include any caption that has the nation's name in it, has a four letter word (you know the Onion), can't be determine unless you have the rest of the country information, or wasn't that funny. And please take this with a grain of salt. It is not trying to insult anyone personally. The Onion tries to insult everyone generally.
