Scrabble high-scoring nations:

Zaire --

Qatar --
Traditional Qatari music w/ slide show.

Hawai'i --

Antarctica --
Scientists, engineers, and such perform in Antarctica as part of "Live Earth."

Sami culture --
The "jojk" singing form is old; I suspect it might go back farther than history does.
