I read once that 25% of American grade school students couldn't identify the current U.S. president! Here's a chance for kids to learn their world leaders. The front of the card would be a colour photo the leader, with the country and his or her official title. The back could contain a small map of the world, with the country lead in solid colour or outlined. Stats should include dates of election/appointment etc, size of country, type of government, up for re-election date, and other pertinent information. Smaller countries would be printed in smaller quantities, hence increasing their collectability, with limits on the really huge ones...

InfiniteJest http://yorick.infin...org:81/1/cards.htmlLike The Onion, only bitter. [thumbwax, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 06 2004] Semi-baked with the Enduring Freedom set from Topps cards. I think this set only contained good guys and bad guys, though.-- bungston, Jan 12 2003 Yuck! That enduring freedom thing is creepy, nationalistic and opportunistic. I like [Cedar Park]'s idea, though. It's good, and edumacational, too.-- snarfyguy, Jan 12 2003 Yeah, nowhere near as good as the Desert Storm cards.-- snarfyguy, Jan 12 2003 [UnaBubba] Self-serving? How so? (I don't live in the U.S.)
