To round up Series 6, we debate which Series 6 country we'd most want to live in. Could it be Medieval Korea? Does Victorian Moresnet take our fancy?

Plus, we answer listener questions and weigh up your suggestions for future countries to cover.

From contested zinc mine to global capital of Esperanto, we find out about the history of this small and most contested triangle of land.

Lasting over 100 years, Moresnet was a libertarian utopia, smugglers dream and what happens when European powers agree to disagree. Almost.

We watch and discuss the first few episodes of Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth. Packed with South Korean models and popstars, Hwarang tells the story of the formation of the aristocratic youth group designed to reinforce the power of the crown. (Only hotties need apply). If you want Twilight but set in 500s Silla with a schizophrenic hip hop, classical, incidental music soundtrack, this is the show for you!

We investigate Silla, one of the three kingdoms of old Korea. We follow their epic battles against Paekche and Gogoryo, their love-hate relationship with ancient China and how Silla became the foundation of the Korean state we know today. Expect queens, kings and plenty of Kims!

It's another one from the archives as we revisit our interview with YouTube sensations, Map Men. We talked to Jay and Mark about how they make their videos and quiz them on their Inca knowledge with Knot Truth or Not Truth.

Ed's getting married, so this time we're digging out an episode from the archive - the Inca Empire. Hopefully this will Quipu you entertained before normal service is resumed.

We met up with comedian and CTDEA alumnus Mike Shephard at a pub in Forest Hill, South London - the place where Bertie Sheldrake was offered the crown of Islamestan. What were Bertie's motivations? Why would anyone want to be a king? And what happened to Europe's leftover royalty? Join us for an enjoyable pint-fuelled ramble.

The Kingdom of Gwynedd was a Medieval powerhouse from the departure of the Romans right up to the conquest of Edward I.
