Mystery Class #8
"On this continent, we don't have countries like you'd find on other continents, because it's a place that's shared by many countries. People sometimes say it's the only continent that has never had a war. So, instead of a country clue, you can still narrow your search for us by knowing that we're not located near the center of the continent, instead we're closer to the edge."
Mystery Class #9
"When we write in our country's language, we don't use letters, we use characters; and we don't begin the year on January 1 here, because we follow a calendar based on the moon."

Mystery Class #10

"Okay, altogether now -- think '3, 2, 1'!

- our country borders 3 other countries on a peninsula;
- our country was previously divided into 2 countries; and
- our country is unified into 1 country now."
