Good books with lots of countries?

[thargh]

I know this sounds incredibly lame, but does anyone know any good books, that tells a lot about different countries, or has alot of browsing around the world in it? (Doesn't have to be the character flying around, just people talking about different places)
Im a little behind in geography, because i don't go on that many vacations, appearantly schools expect that people know everything about capitals etc. naturally...

Arguably the best atlas of 2007.

The Historian has a bit of International fare in it.

Juneau she'll lie about it.

I agree that Around the World in Eighty Days is a good recommendation. You may also wish to look into some historical fiction as well. There's a great deal about much of Europe, Asia and Africa in many of them.
