God, I love Wikipedia...

There's a country in Eurasia called Kalmykia.

It's the only country (geographically) in Europe, which is predominantly Buddhist.

They were invaded by the Nazis in WWII.

It's the epicentre of Chess. All schoolchildren are taught how to play chess.

The President of Kalmykia is quite good-looking.
