Some fun facts about Blighty! (England)
We have the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe
We have the largest Governmental organisation in the world (the NHS)
We invented the computer twice, once in the 1870s (think that's correct), and again during the second world war
Until the 1960s, it was illegal to be gay, and you got a choice to either be sterilised or sent to prison
There was supposed to be a share of information between the UK and the US after the second world war to build the first supersonic jet. We sent information about our own project, but never got any information back from the US. About three months later, the project was cancelled; a reason was never given.
Also, a random fact about Worthing (a small town of 100k in the UK), it has the second most active crematorium in Europe!

In Sweden we have the right of public access, which basically means that you're allowed to go anywhere you like on the countryside, as long as you don't destroy anything. This makes it super easy to go camping, and it also means that signs like 'No trespassing' can for the most time be ignored. Military areas are not ok to wander into, and in populated areas there are other regulations.
We also have the highest level of social spending to GDP in the world. Oh, and don't forget it was in this cold country that Alfred Nobel was born, the man who invented dynamite!

About the Netherlands:
- The average Dutchman has 2.8 bicycles.
- The Dutch are the tallest people in the world.
- Amsterdam is the Dutch capital, but The Hague is the seat of government.
