  • Azerbaijan is nick-named the “Land of Fire” because of its natural gas-fueled flames and oil. It was the first democratic republic in the Muslim world and by July 21, 1919, women in the country could vote, earlier than the US. And its capital, Baku, sits 28 metres below sea-level, making it the lowest-lying national capital on Earth.
  • Cricket was an Olympic sport in 1900, and it has not been played in the Olympics since then. Only two teams competed, France and England, with England winning the single match played.
