The Sunday Atlas For 10/3/10 (1st Edition): 20 Years After The Fall of The Wall

Octoberfest is in full swing in Deutschland, as the nation celebrates a full two decades after the Berlin Wall collapsed:

Sunday is also the day Germany makes the last payment on debt stemming from reparations imposed after World War I.
