I watched Cheers religiously when it was on and there was an episode where Coach was helping Sam study for a geography test. His trick was to remember facts with songs and because of that episode, I know Albania borders on the Adriatic, is mountainous, and chief export is chrome.

13.2% of Albania's exports in 2019 were leather footwear, 54.8% of which went to Italy, just across the Adriatic. Chromium ore was only 2.2% of exports (and 96.6% went to China).

Also, if you look closely at that video you can see that "Sam" is actually Ted Danson who is an actor and not a retired alcoholic baseball player who owns a bar.

Their chief export is a web browser?
