Describe your nation

[Hoja Lateralus]

Fun game, describe strenghts and weaknesses of your nation, you have 5 pluses and 3 minuses to give. You may count big features as double plus or double minus. The more stupid and stereotypical it is - the better.

I'll start:

POLAND

++ Removing kebab/communism
++ Alcohol resistance
+ Cleaning toilets

- Going into space
- Wealth
- Fashion taste


More common than you'd think

[Koali]

USA

++ GUNS
++ OBNOXIOUS PATRIOTISM
++ GOING INTO SPACE
+ CULTURAL MIX
+ "DEMOCRACY"

- EXPENSIVE HEALTHCARE
- "DEMOCRACY"
- CULTURAL MIX
- DEBT
- OBNOXIOUS PATRIOTISM
- GUN-CONTROL FREAKS

...Shoot. That's more than 5 pluses and 3 minuses. BUT THIS IS AMERICA!!! WE'RE TOO BIG FOR 5 PLUSES AND 3 MINUSES!!!

[Squidslinger Gilder]

USA

+ Washington State
+ In N Out Burger
+ Anime Expo
+ Had awesome founding fathers
+ 2nd amendment

- Politicians
- Media censorship
- Tries to police the world yet when genocides happen, does nothing

- About a 100 or so other reasons it sucks

What can I say, I grew up in the 80s. I used up all my patriotism back then.

[Piemanlives]

Yes, salute.

Born and raised in England, now living in Slovakia, I feel I need to do two of these!

Slovakia:
Pros
+The heart of Europe! (Geographical centre)
+Ice hockey players! (Some of the best the world has seen.)
+Palenka. (a very smooth homebrew alcohol averages at 60%)
+Beautiful people! (Really!)
+Beautiful countryside and castles and caves!


Cons
-No metro in the capital city! 
-Fed palenka during any family meet up, often leading to very drunk times, rude if you decline! XD
-Often gets confused as still being part of Czechoslovakia despite being a republic again..


England
Pros
+Economy (The pound is still strong..)
+Multi-cultural
+Gun laws. (but we will not go too far into this debate.)

Cons
-Politicians.
-Mainstream ideals are accepted norm, anything else is "weird"
-Consumerism and corporate bullshit plays too big a part in politics.


@Riggatto: As long as people don't start debating politics and keeping the thread on topic it'll be fine.

Alright, here we go!
