Let's get right to it.
192. Guinea-Bissau. Nino Vieira rides in this Land Cruiser. I found this on a Brazilian blog.
193. Mauritania. Merc S-class for the president.
194. Niger. President Tandja's white Land Cruiser can be seen in the background.
195. Kiribati. Black Toyota Crown. This is more of an educated guess than anything else. There is mention on Virtual Tourist of the president riding in a "black limousine". With so many Japanese imports and with the last ambassador of China riding in a white Crown, I strongly suspect that Anote Tong rides in a Toyota Crown as well.
196. Federated States of Micronesia. Alas, we come to our last country, Micronesia. The picture below was as close as I could get to Manny Mori's ride. It is his (and his VP's) carport. I'm doing my best to track down his ride, even making a long distance telephone call to the country's Public Information Officer ("I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service."). I suspect that it is an American or Japanese sedan. But we shall see. The answer will be posted in the next, and final, part of this long running, and popular, series.
