Oh, the natives I met pronounce it nam Bia' with the accent on the second syllable-but this may be a regional pronunciation

Namibia's Coastal Desert is one of the oldest deserts in the world. Its sand dunes, created by the strong onshore winds, are the highest in the world.[48] Because of the location of the shoreline, at the point where the Atlantic's cold water reaches Africa's hot climate, often extremely dense fog forms along the coast.[49] Near the coast there are areas where the dunes are vegetated with hammocks.[50] Namibia has rich coastal and marine resources that remain largely unexplored.[51]

Other artifacts along the dig site showed that the rubble comes from the Flintstone era. Archaeologist believe the rubble was once the statue of the twin god/goddess Pebbles and Bam-Bam.

and the special necktie mill, the world's only producer of 6 long red ties. You should also visit the spray tan factory, where orange spray tan is produced for export in 55 gal. drums. Nambia is also a major producer of paper towels whose packages are specially rifled for accurate throwing. It produces a lot of furniture, too, so you will never have to worry about the furniture of your children.
For your recreation and entertainment, their golf courses are world class; you're guaranteed to shoot a 74 or less every time. Their restaurants serve well-done steaks with ketchup and beautiful chocolate cake, brought to your table on gold plates by naked Slovenian models.

Repeat it as fast as you can until you understand it, Donald. "Owah Tagoo Siam. Owah Tagoo Siam. Owah Tagoo Siam...."

No one there to knock my diction
Look away, look away, look away

Away, away, across the sea in Nambia!
Away, away, no press near me in Nambia!

Away, away, across the sea in Nambia!
Away, away, no press near me in Nambia!
