Country with the largest number of bunkers

Did you know that the largest number of “bunkers” or underground shelters is not the United States, nor Russia, Germany, China or Japan?! During the rule of Communist dictator Enver Hoxha (1950-1985) in Albania were built more than 600,000 bunkers, meaning that all the present population plus the soldiers of Albania (3,215,988) could fit in there if we were in a war.
