What does the Internet think of the South Caucasus?

Well, really just Armenia and Azerbaijan… Googling for Georgia is too difficult.

Inspired by this campaign that looked what Google automatically fills in for searches about men and women, I tried to do this with Armenia and Azerbaijan. I was logged out of Google, so these are the “natural” search results, not influenced by my own.

Yes, Azerbaijan is rich! And absolutely, the question of its position in Europe or Asia is an important one. Which country? Well, I guess with Southern Azerbaijan in Northern Iran, this could  be a little confusing.

Again, the continent thing is really confusing. I don’t blame you for searching for this, users of Google.

Here is an interesting selection. No history? Impossible.

Armenia Has Talent! Awesome. And no nukes, sorry.

Excellent questions, Google users. Russia versus USSR is a tough one for you young people, I guess.

Yes-  first Christian nation!

I ask two of these four questions often. Guess which ones?

I ask three of these four questions often. Guess which ones?

Well, some of these are not nice and some are interesting empirical questions.
