The most popular pet in the world is a subject of debate, with different animals being favored by people in different regions and cultures. However, some of the most common pets include cats, dogs, fish, birds, and small mammals such as rabbits and guinea pigs.

The hottest place on Earth is also a matter of debate, with different regions experiencing varying temperatures throughout the year. However, according to the Guinness World Records, the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 134 degrees Fahrenheit (56.7 degrees Celsius) in Death Valley, California, United States, on July 10, 1913.

The first country formed is a complex topic that can be traced back to the evolution of human society. However, the most widely accepted theory suggests that the first country formed was Ancient Egypt, which emerged around 3100 BCE.
