If stereotypes are to be believed, I'm currently wrestling off a crocodile as I type this.

"G'day, mate."

"Crikey!"
Probably something about beer and kangaroos too.

I'm from Serbia. So generally speaking we're nationalist who think we're the best country in the world and we would be even better if everybody else would stop getting in our way and plotting against us. So pretty much we're like Americans without nukes, army and economy.
This is my view of Serbia, but i would like to know how the rest of the world thinks about us.

Croatia and like all the Slavs we are viewed as backwards, genocidal, mafia type people that live in the mountains and eat raw meat.
New Zealand, all you need to know: ~4.5 Million people, ~39 Million Sheep. This isn't an exaggeration either.
National defense plan: Wall of sheep.

That is true, Poland does rock. My roommate is polish, and has been explaining to me the complexities of the polish language, it is cool.Yossarian1507 said:Poland.
According to 'Polish Jokes' we're idiots, and according to everyone, we're people who fight with Russians for the 'biggest drunkards in the world' title.
On the bright side, People seem to acknowledge the awesomeness [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epeQwq-aYV0] of Polish soldiers [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIg1pZgMGRk].
Also, we made Painkiller and The Witcher
I'm from Macedonia, and I view Serbians as pretty cool guys. I have family in Belgrade so, you know.Scarynerd said:
As for my country, we're viewed by people not from the Balkans as really backwards, and from Greece as really nationalistic (that last one is true). We were close friends with USA in the duration that Bush was in office.
If you want to see a short description of my country here it is:
Macedonia is a tiny Slavic nation nestled in the middle of the Balkan Peninsula. The national language, Macedonian, is very closely related to Bulgarian, to the point where they are mutually intelligible. The capital is Skopje.
"Macedonia", the ethnic homeland of Macedonians, was historically a much larger region which was divided up in 1913 among nations who'd taken advantage of the weakness of the Ottoman Empire: the southern part went to Greece, the northeastern part went to Bulgaria, and the northwestern part ? the part that makes up the present-day Republic of Macedonia ? became the southern half of Serbia. This Serbian region later became the Socialist Republic of Macedonia, as a constituent republic of Yugoslavia. When Yugoslavia broke up, this constituent republic became the independent Republic of Macedonia.
However, the newly independent Macedonia found itself at odds with Greece, due to Greece's northern region (the territory annexed in 1913) having the same name. Greece felt that, due to its cultural and historic importance, the name should be considered exclusively Greek. Macedonia, on the other hand, felt that it was within its rights to call itself whatever it pleased. As a result, the neighbors have had a rocky relationship, which has led to incidents such as the rejection of Macedonia from joining NATO. Because of Greece's pressure, Macedonia is a member of the United Nations under the name "the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" and Greece itself only recognises Macedonia under that name or the name "Macedonia-Skopje", just to make the point.
Notably, the country avoided any bloodshed during the breakup of Yugoslavia, the only one of the republics to do so.
We all dress like Steve Irwin, ride kangaroos to school, live in Sydney and use idiotic slang constantly. How I hate stereotypes of my country.
As for my family, half of them are called Luigi and are always eating pizza and pasta, the other half are soviet communists.

Well last Welshman I encountered in gaming/films portrayed us as having to say Boyo at the end of everything...Boyo.
Rest is well standard Welsh stuff, sheep, singing and stuff...Boyo.

Actually Montenegro got through more-or-less alright too. I went there this year, nice people and scenery but christ are they MENTAL when placed behind a steering wheel.David_G said:
As a Brit I find my nation is generally stereotyped as being excessively polite and us all either having very posh or cockney accents. There also seems to be a problem in that Manchester and London are thought of as indicative of England as a whole.
Well, not really, they were as Serbia and Montenegro, they didn't have a separate state until recently. During the Yougoslavia crisis, they were on the side of Serbia, and if I'm not mistaken they sent police to help out against Croatia or Bosnia.Murderiser said:
