Trivia:
In World War II, when the Germans were invading everywhere else, they didn't realize they had conquered Sokovia until the soldier in charge of tank navigation looked at his maps and exclaimed "Hey! I zink ve just ran over a country!"
Sokovia acquired its square mileage in a very interesting way. When the founders first purchased the land (from the Austro-Hungarian empire before it became Czechoslovakia before it split up), they only had enough money to buy a plot of land the size of a postage stamp. But the founders were sneaky. Every night for forever, they would go out at 2 A.M. and move one of the boundary markers 1/2 inch to the left. And that is how they got to their present 2 and 7/8ths of a mile.
* Since, as you can see, Sokovia was founded by the The Universal Movement of Those Who Don't Believe in Any Sort of Education Corps, Sokovia still doesn't know that the Dodo B\ird is extinct.
