Ryan heads off into the desert, finally! Along the way, he revisits the history of sketchy ebay land deals, the Bush era policy of not-nation-building, and the moment Zaq’s land became a country.  The team encounters Ivo Zdarsky, an eccentric desert dweller who builds his own aircraft.  And it turns out the road to Zaqistan is not paved with…anything. Nor is it much of a road at all.
