I'm from Rhode Island, (USA) where despite being one of the first of the colonies settled in the "New World", we were the last to unionize with the rest of the US, having already declared autonomy earlier on.

That is awesome, I thought you were fucking about and had to look it up.

Apparently, Australia is the fattest country in the world.

Umm, no we aren't. We aren't even in the top 10 mate!

I'm from Bulgaria and my country discovered the bacteria which forms yoghurt.

Germany
our constitution is technically invalid since it was supposed to be temporary in the when they thought that it would only take a few years to reunify Germany, after that there should have been a slight overhaul of the thing and people would have given their yes or nos on that one. Fast forward 50 years, and after the reunification nobody thought it was practical to redo the thing so we are stuck with a temporary constitution that was supposed to be replaced by something permanent 20 years ago.

Although we exported more than china last year (again) and whenever our government tries to count us we throw up a massive shitstorm.

Yeah, I suppose so. though Pittsburgh isnt good at making friends, since we hate pretty much every team in the tri state area.

Though I'm willing to be friends with anyone who isnt a Browns, Flyers, or Caps fan. Its not the city we Pittsburghers hate, its the flyers. We dont see the eagles enough to hate them, they're a blip on the far horizon of our radar.

Its not your city we Philadelphians hate either. Its Sidney Crosby. And the Steelers.

I guess pretty much all sport centric cities hate pretty much all other sports centric cities. Though here in Philly we harbor an especially large amount of hate for the Cowboys. And the Giants.

Norway is one of 2 (or 3) countries to be run by a priest in the 21st century.
Yeah... it makes me depressed to think about...

You can fit all of Europe in the Arctic portion of my country, Canada. And yes, that's just the Arctic part, none of the provinces.

well... to be fair, there's a lot of people who hate sid. Just like there's a lot of people who hate... realyl anyone on the flyers. but Richards especially.

Thoguh why you hate the steelers I wouldnt know, its not like we see you enough. thats like that whole Pitt/Penn state thing. The two never really see each other, and tthere are miuch better rivalries in their division (Pitt having WVU and penn state having [i think] Michigan?).

Though I'll swallow my pride and takea big bite of humble pie, I envy you Philadelphians. At least your baseball team is good. I gave up all hope for the pirates, and had to go to pretty much the opposite end of the country to find a team I could support (Oakland).

Puerto Rico: Every year the previous year's murder record is shattered by over a hundred murders. This place sucks and going out is sure to cause you grievous injury.

Philly is just so... Philly. We hate pretty much everyone whose not us. (Like Ukrainians, something I also am. You want to see a rivalry, try Ukraine and Russia about... everything.) Since we like our Eagles here, we dislike your Steelers on principal, I believe. And its true, the only reason no one hear cares about your baseball team does have to do with the Pirates being barely a blip on the radar. We finally got our due with the Phillies. Now if only our other teams would follow suit.

EDIT: My 100th post, and its indirectly about how much I hate Cindy and Russia. Appropriate.

I come from the UK, the land of weird idiosyncrasies

We are one of only three countries to have an uncodified constitution.

Can anyone name the other two?

Scotland and Wales? XD

Great Britain has not been invaded by a foreign power since 1066 AD, we have effectively had the same establishment all that time with mere modifications to the running of things.

I'm from Australia and contrary to popular (American) belief we don't all sound like the crocodile hunter, say G'day and wear corks on our hats.

Ooh, I can do this too.

I'm from America and contrary to popular (Australian) belief we aren't all idiots.

You used an opportunity to say something interesting about your country to take a swipe at Americans. Nice.

Florida, United States

Home to the oldest European settlement on American soil (St.Augustine) and it's also the home of NASA who are based at Cape Canaveral.

Denmark was the first country to legalize pornography in 1969. We were also the first to invent the burglar alarm. Sadly the rights to it got stolen.

After following your conversation I'd just like to quip I'm a Eagles fan and although I dislike the Steelers since I'm also a Packers fan, I do appreciate Pittsburgh, just not some of the people from there -_-

Ironic that the rights to burglar alarms got stolen from you.
