Azerbaijan

When I think Azerbaijan, I remember that one Eurovision contest I watched where Azerbaijan won (and fairly so) and I remember thinking where's Azerbaijan - is it.. part of Europe?

Then read this article about their despotic leader.. despotic and not very cleverly so.

He won the most recent democratic elections.
And the election results were announced... one full day before the voting began.
