There is a seating assignment for countries of United Nations, which is picked out by a ballot!

Haven't you always noticed that Afghanistan always comes first in your childhood world map and Zimbabwe the last? Well, countries can be offended by this, so every year, the United Nations holds a ballot and the lucky winner gets to be the first. Then, the countries following the alphabetical order lines from that. For example, if Thailand wins the ballot, than Timor-Leste, Togo, and Tonga will follow respectively and end with Tanzania. The names are all in English. Source: http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=15263&Cr=general&Cr1=assembly

China executes more than 1,000 people every year and they showed it on national TV until 2008.


What's more interesting is that those who are executed mostly aren't murderers. In past cases, political prisoners, rapists, drug dealers, and traffickers have been executed. Even though these are cruel crimes, people from all over the world think it's unnecessary for a death penalty for these crimes. What's more disturbing is that they still use the old-fashioned method of execution by shooting into the head!

Also, China showed the execution on national TV until 2008 when they hosted the Summer Olympics and got much criticism from countries and organizations.
