42.482214°N, 20.996291°E Lipjan municipality, Pristina district, Kosovo photo by Valdet Kdr — The web site of Kosovo's government, in discussing the Blinaje nature reserve, muses that "For those that are not attracted to the seaside, this could be a very good spot to visit. People who don't like the sea and the sun can get into groups and head for the national park of Blinaje." With the randomizer having landed in Kosovo, there are 46 nations left that Stochastic Planet has not yet visited. Kosovo had the 16th-largest area of the 47 that had constituted the list until today. Of course, that raises the question of what qualifies as a nation. Kosovo is a bit of an edge case, in that it is recognized by 112 of the 193 members of the United Nations, a substantial but not overwhelming majority.
