Ever stopped to think about the alphabet and how it plays a part in the names of places all around the globe? It’s kind of interesting, how some letters seem to pop up everywhere, while others, well, they are a bit more shy. When we consider the very first letter of a country's name, there are some letters that appear quite often, and then there are others that are almost entirely absent. This little exploration is about one of those less common starting letters, specifically the letter 'W'. You might be wondering, just how many places on our world map actually begin with this particular letter?
It turns out, the number of places that kick off with 'W' is surprisingly small, especially if you are thinking about places that are truly independent nations. Most people, when asked to name a country, usually picture well-known, self-governing states
