How Good Is Your Geography?? [3]

Lousada..you get it and the floor is yours for the next question. I was looking up Lausanne on Wiki out of curiousity about it since so many HQ for sporting organizations are there, and that little tidbit of how a city of 135000 people had at one point 3 Subway lines and still has 2. Not really large ones, and rather unique...but I live in a city of a similar size and there isn't a hope in hades we would even begin to start the discussion of a rapid transit system here....

So..the floor is yours Lousada

Now you guys have the C train...and I have ridden it downtown to go see the party on Electric Avenue...it works quite well. That said, Calgary's traffic doesn't hold a candle to Toronto or Montreal's...

I just looked it up and Rennes is actually the second smallest city with a metro system ;)

Right the question. I'm not that good in thinking them up, hope this is not too easy.

Which African country was the first to gain independence from their colonial masters?

Egypt?

Kenya??

Libya?

Actually, having thought about it, the clue is in the name.

Liberia?

I got beat to it by Tam, I believe it is Liberia, but I will say no one actually said to Ethiopia they were NOT a country, so it is considered to be the first official country in the modern sense to be still around now.
