419 scams and world affairs

I have decided that instead of actually trying to read newspapers to figure out what is going on in the world, I will just monitor my 419 scam mail. So far in the past few years, I have got 419 scam variants from major hotspots in the world:

• Nigeria of course
  
• Liberia
  
• Sierra Leone
  
• Haiti
  
• And now Zimbabwe.
  

I am somewhat disappointed to have not received anything from Sudan, and even more surprised that nothing has come from Iraq. I am expecting some mail from the Congo in the next few days...
