Buford is located in Laramie County, Wyoming, USA, off Interstate 80, about 40 kilometers south of the state capital, Cheyenne. The town is famous for having the smallest resident population in the United States - in 2010, there was only one person left (and then it became uninhabited for a time), and was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the "least populated incorporated town in the United States". Dating back to the 1860s, the town prospered as a railroad supply depot and then declined as transportation routes changed. Today, the town's landmarks include a grocery store, gas station, and a historic beacon that was sold to a Vietnamese businessman for $900,000 in 2013, making it a "lonely landmark" for tourists. Despite having zero permanent residents, the town attracts thousands of visitors each year to experience the wilderness and serenity of the vast state of Wyoming.
Adré, Chad is an important border town in the Ouaddaï Region in the eastern part of the African country of Chad, near the Darfur region of Sudan. A key trade and transportation hub between Chad and Sudan, Adré is located in the Sahelian zone on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, with an arid and hot climate, and an economy dominated by agro-pastoralism and small-scale cross-border commerce. Historically part of the Kingdom of Wadi Fira, the region retains a rich Arab-African cultural fusion, but has faced refugee flows and security challenges in recent years due to the impact of the conflict in Darfur. Adé is also an important site for humanitarian assistance and is strategic for regional stability.
