Michael Harnett, the Chief Investment Strategist for Bank of America Merrill Lynch, developed this map that scales countries not by population, oil reserves, or per capital bronies, but the relative size of their stock markets.
Elena Holodny of Business Insider points out a few interesting comparisons. China and its constituent city Hong Kong are nearly the same size. Russia has greater surface area than Pluto, but is about the size of Finland.
Note that New Zealand, as many world maps explain, doesn't actually exist.

Just crack it lightly on a counter and then roll it so the shell cracks all around. If you did it correctly, the shell will peel off in 1 or 2 chunks.
I purchase eggs about once a month/two months in bulk (like, 2 1/2 dozen or 5 dozen at a time, it's cheaper than by a single dozen). Never once have I encountered a "bad" egg and they're all super easy to peel when hard-boiled.
Pierce your eggs before boiling. A pushpin is good for this. Poke it in the wide end. This lets air in, which makes the cooked egg easier to peel.
And to suggest that your eggs should not be fresh is to assure that the egg you peel is not worth the effort.
