This is a timeless classic. What is perhaps most troubling is that some of these hoaxes have become highly plausible, e.g., 'Belgium divides'!

Note:
In many (if not most) cases, these hoaxes are perpetrated in the same place that is involved in the hoax.
Where that is not true, the locations given may be either where the hoax was perpetrated, or the place it is about. The choice depended on which seemed most appropriate, and/or which led to a less-crowded game.
For help in sorting it all out, follow the link to the Museum of Hoaxes in the message below.

Information for this game comes from:

There's a lot there: much more than could go into this small group of games.

Special thanks to my friend Slaaty, who modified the map and provided me the ancestor of the version I use here.
I of course, have flipped it in the vertical...
