For the Australian's also don't forget that the only city in Australia is Sydney.

Wait, I haven't seen shrimp on the barbie here yet, chuck that in too. With some Vegemite.

Ever seen Yes Man?
That was just Rhys Darby playing Rhys Darby. He played the same character in "The Boat That Rocked".

I am from Zambia

So as an African I am supposed to be a huge black guy (though I am of Indian/Pakistani descent) who lives in a war torn place where I learned how to shoot a gun at age 5; Oh and we all have AIDS and are practically skeletons.

I'm American. so...not well.

Especially since everyone from California is treated as either a health nut or a bleeding-heart liberal.

I suppose that just leaves Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. I guess "awkward with funny accents" sums us up. :/
Haven't watched them in a while, though my dad always does.

Germany. Some think we're still evil. (Who told them? It's supposed to be a secret.)

Other than that, the old Germany is known for classical music and the modern germany is known for engineering, science and math (Einstein, Riemann, Gauß, Möbius, Cantor, Kroneck, Dedekind, Weierstraß, Dirichlet, Hilbert, Hausdorff, Heisenberg, Helmholtz, Hertz, Kirchhoff, Planck, Röntgen, Fahrenheit, Fraunhofer etc...)

And then, there are those who think, we ALL dress up in Lederhosen. Hm, maybe the Nazi stereotype isn't so bad at all...

Oregonian here, I don't pay much attention to what the media says about us, but we have trees, and lots of 'em, we also apparently have a weird way of saying our towns or cities like Tillamook (we say Till-uh-muck, they [non-Oregonians] say Till-uh-mook)

Norway, we are pale, tall, snow everywhere, and polar bear roaming the streets. Also we got taken pretty quickly during WWII so I don't see much mention about our opposing force during that time (stopping the making of the A-bomb for one thing, with the help of british training and intelligence) sinking of the Donau (look it up) etc. also.

I have a horned helmet, and an axe ofcourse. And we export Metal and Fiddle music.

Oh, and we are such a passive nation for giving out the peace price etc. I don't know really, I feel we are being representet quite poorly to be honest.

Also: Fjords.

Australia.

Goddamn, our own TV sucks, and the movies we make are sub-par at best. Even though everyone Australian refuses to believe we make bad movies.

Other than entertainment, I'm not sure. How do others view Aus?

For the state I lived in, North Carolina, I lived in a GI Town where people support the soldiers or civilians just worked for a living. I don't think they really have anything to display imho.
Dude, are you talking about Fayettenam?!

OT: Everyone knows that Australian men are vulgar, racist, alcoholic layabouts. We spend all our free time either riding, wrestling and/or fleeing the native wildlife, and have wives that look like semi-trailers.

As for you Canadians... you're pretty much the Kiwis of North America.
Hahahaha, nice! You forgot pottheads. :)

The Kiwis of North America! It´s a bloddy topografy joke. Classic mate! :)

Sry for Offtopic.

Canada, the middle child of the developed world. Any time something goes down that is notable on a world wide scale we get generally get no mention. Our living conditions are generally exactly as the same as someone in most American states, but our country doesn't have the aggressive image so we just fly under the radar.

Generally this suits us just fine I think, getting passionate about stuff isn't a very Canadian thing. Not a lot of pressure on us, and we don't have to worry about offending anyone.

Blasphemy! Strange Brew was probably the second greatest comedy I've ever seen. Oh and OT: I'm not really sure how California is represented, but we do have Hollywood...
Generally California is represented like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-5F_7DwPpo
