[Anarch]

England - Football hooligans, wierd music, Blur vs Oasis, Paki-bashing, mother England, the homeland of an Empire that drank too much rum, got confused and fell over.

Scotland - Land of angry Presbyterian Celts who wear skirts without underwear. Also William Wallace.

Wales - Tiny, tiny country with the original Brits. Harmless, tiny country that does nothing in particular except act as a principality for whoever's next in line for the Crown of England.

Ireland (Republic of) - Drunken Catholics who love to fight. Australians in disguise.

France - People who pioneered the arts of civil war and revolution, then totally lost the plot.

Flanders - Dutch in disguise.

Wallonia - Frenchies who don't want to be French.

The Netherlands - Clogs, Muslims, coffee shops and red light districts.

Spain - Hairy women and strange alcohol. Dirty French.

Portugal - Hairier women and stranger alcohol. Dirty Spaniards.

Germany - They went from a fragmented cluster of states to conquerers of a continent, and then got castrated. Something went wrong.

Denmark - Quasi-Germans.

Norway - Tall people, oil.

Sweden - God knows what to think of the Swedes. Quasi-ccommies without the testicular fortitude of the Bolsheviks. Their viking ancestors would probably cry for the first time if they could see them today. Oh, and Abba.

Finland - Snow. Lakes. Mist. Hunters of Russians.

Russia - Intelligent but lazy people who've forgotten there's a difference between falling in love with vodka and falling in love with women. The Empire that went sterile.

Belarus - People who feel an inner imperative to be Russians, but won't.

Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia - Nice holiday destinations.

Greece - Ouzo, European wogs, Orthodox Christians. Turk haters.

Macedonia - Half Serb, half Greek. Strange mix.

Serbia - Angry, angry people. Put them on a world consisting only of them, and they'd declare a genocide war against trees.

Albania - Turkey took a dump when it left Europe.

Bosnia - The stench.

Slovenia - Quiet people.

Italy - Beautiful women, wine, great food and cool art.

Malta - The people who never give up.

Yankees - Gung ho pseudo-Pommie Protestant moralisers.

Southerners - Southern comfort and coca cola. Civilised people.

Canadians - People of the Great Big Cold.

Australians - Patriotic, beer loving, hard working Anglo-Irish.

NZ'ers - Australians in disguise.

South African Brits - Capitalists and elitist. Similar to what the Pommies used to be.

South African Boers - Angry, angry farmers who don't like black people but get screwed by politicians and SAfrican Brits.

[RikuDrak]

England - A country full of the wierdest up and down history moments with a pretty landscape and the few really cool UKers I know over there.

Scotland - A country of people who drink to much and don't know when to stop.

Wales - A friend I know from the same circle of friends as the English.

Ireland (Republic of) - My friend who now lives Plymouth, knows when to stop drinking.

France - Way too short buildings those midget people. Pronounce most of your letters please.

Flanders - Dutch 'belgians' most of whom I know are very Nationalistic, opressed in the recent hundred or so years by the Walloon french speakers. Respectable, kind, fun people.

Wallonia - French variant with a love for controlling something. They should rejoin France but then they'd have no power (oh no how dreadful)

The Netherlands - Flooded muslim country of part of my ancestrial bloodland. Home of my love/fiancee. Flatland (no mountains, very little hills). Ocean conquerers.

Spain - They're shorter than the French and Dutch (NL) people go to the coast and open up Frikandellen shops (Frikandellen = Traditional NL-Dutch sausage made primarily of horse meat).

Portugal - Their languages looks like rebelious spanish speaking kids (no offense to them)

Germany - Modern mutilated remains of my once beautiful ancestrial bloodland, overflowed by muslims and other non-western cultured people.

Denmark - They sit on top of Germany.

Norway - Scandinavian country of an ex-bf and really good friend of mine, cold as the opposite of hell but still beautiful landscape.

Sweden - Scandinavia... Variant language.

Finland - Off the wall language.

Russia - Large, mountainous, unfortunately most known for their prostitutes (?)

Ukraine - It's somewhere out in that eastern area of the old continent.

Belarus - ...

Lithuania - I've heard of it once.

Latvia - Interesting name to say....

Estonia - I thought this was a made up name of a country when I heard it on a movie once.

Poland - Poor, dirty, sweaty, unbathed portion of the European Union. Cheap labour, wierd language.

Czeck Republic - Used to not be the Czeck Republic...

Slovakia - Used to not be Slovakia...

Austria - Wierd seperation of German-speaking lands

Hungaria - Seriously wierd language

Romania - Wierd slavic/italian sounding language

Moldova (?) - What?

Bulgaria - Another one of those countries I know little to nothing about.

Greece - Short, curly haired people with mythology.

Macedonia - Eh...heard of it before...

Albania - ...

Croatia - Heard about it in many lights/viewpoints.

Serbia - Same as above.

Bosnia - Don't know much other than the name.

Slovenia - Home country of one of my favourite bands.

Italy - Short people and Rome.

Malta - I could have sworn I heard this before...

[Banat]

England - A land of eternal grey, of cold, perfectly-mannered arrogant gentlemen and that cool dangerous crazy people with a damn fine sense of humour; good drinkers. I don't know why I like them, but I do.

Scotland - Cheap & angRy highlanders in skirts blowing into their bagpipes disguised into Englishmen, but with their barbaric hearts beating within.

Wales - The people who gave Sir Bedwyr of the Round Table.

Ireland (Republic of) - Red-haired beer-crazed Roman-Catholic Serbs in green.

France - Land of sensitive poets & warriors, delicate aesthetes with strong masculine pride. And perhaps the most beautiful women in all Europe.

Flanders - Eyck, Rubens, Dyke, Stan... a small and proud Germanic people I don't know much of and whom I often associate with the Dutch.

Wallonia - Hercule Poirot and other French Belgians offended when mistaken with Frenchmen.

The Netherlands - Multicultural and multiracial Germanic land of weed-smokers, tulips, windmills, negro junkies, prostitutes in shop-windows, which has stolen its land from the sea.

Spain - Southern swarthy land of temperament but good-hearted people with the only language in the world where vowels and consonants are clearly pronounced and not mumbled.

Portugal - Spaniards with a French accent. Also missing that Mediterranean warmth Spaniards have.

Germany, Austria - Hard-working, diligent, decent and serious men; highly rational and pragmatic, but moral also. Not particularly fun, but very disciplined and highly reliable, both as friends and as enemies.

Denmark - Hyperboreans whose peninsula threatens to sail off from the continent and join the rest of Scandinavia. I knew a girl from Copenhagen.

Norway, Sweden - Fierce blond Nordic protectors of human, animal and woman rights, always ready to use all legal instruments to eliminate everything that makes the oppressed unhappy.

Finland - To outsiders similar to the two above, while in fact very different. Home of calm, silent and intelligent people, also of Santa Klaus, Lapps and reindeers.

Russia - Cold land of warm and emotional people who can handle strong drink very well.

Ukraine - "Little Russians"; the land of cossacks and the Holy City of Kiev.

Belarus - "White Russians", as their name says. Russian Montenegrins.

Lithuania - A bunch of -uskas-s and -is-s blond basketball and hockey maniacs.

Latvia - Lithuanian cousins.

Poland - A big Central European country many hate and I am indifferent about; home of John Sobieski, protector of Vienna, and the only Roman Pope of Slavic descent.

Czech Republic - Good beer, interesting people and beautiful women are most likely to meet there. One of the oldest world universities, and a place where Slavic acceptance of Christianity was sealed.

Slovakia - Funny cheerful Slavs spread from Bratislava to Novi Sad; alive and nosy lads and gals, as their folk songs and dances are.

Hungaria - A truly European nation with a mission; once big and proud people that ruled vast lands, and now a nation whose half lives in its capital Budapest. Tall blond long-haired lads that listen to heavy metal and are good with computers.

Romania - Partly Balkan, partly not; once partly occupied, partly free; partly Romans, partly Slavs. The only Romance Orthodox nation and the "fifth wheel" of Romance Europe. A land with poor present, but great past, and hopefully bright future. Most annoying music hits they produce.

Moldova (?) - Unreformed Romanians, but Romanians nevertheless.

Bulgaria - Turks, Thracians, Slavs - what will it be? A mistery in the past, a mistery of the future, a South-Slavian glorious nation guarding the gates of Islam at its borders.

Greece - The only people able to celebrate and dance in ecstasy without any drink spent. Oyzo and watermelon they combine while resting on wonderful beaches; both hospitality and Spartan spirit are well cherished.

(FYRO) Macedonia - A former Southern Serbia with an option to become either Bulgarian West or Albanian East. The land of eternal Sun and the best folk songs; beautiful swarthy people that also sing beautifully.

Albania - Poor state; people poor but strong and brave. A nation whose rising we are witnessing.

Serbia - Most precious home, but set on fire and filled with idiots.

Croatia - Swamp toads with superiority complex. People somewhat kind, but only if lacking any interest in politics and history.

Bosnia - A melting pot of three totally different peoples, three totally different nations, three different sets of genes and three different histories, totally indistinguishable in the eyes of an outsider.

Slovenia - Cold and proud Europeans that proved their European-ness to everyone and that cannot wait for their vacations to Serbia to give their Slavic soul a rest.

Italy - Delicate, sensitive, temperament and passionate eloquent flatterers who really mean what they say.

Malta - Knight-protectors of Christianity; masons.

[Lenny]

Yankees - Gung ho pseudo-Pommie Protestant moralisers.I wish! Unforunately the US Northeast ("Yankee-land") is nearly half Catholic today :mad: 150 years ago there was no native Catholic population in the Northeast, today they have taken over

This country was over 80% Protestant at the turn of the 20th century (i.e. 1900), then thanks to Catholic immigration it dropped to two-thirds Protestant by mid-century, one of these days it will soon cease to have a Protestant majority at all because of continuing Catholic immigration :mad:

Southerners - Southern comfort and coca cola. Civilised people.Coca-Cola? what the heck :confused:

[Péter]

Hungaria - Tall blond long-haired lads that listen to heavy metal and are good with computers.

Heh, each of the traits you listed is exhibited by one or more of the male members of my family. ;)
