How is your Country Displayed

[Lance Arrow]

The Netherlands - Mostly pot smokers and farmers dressed in grey overralls and wooden clogs.

And I don't think we'd have it any other way.

 

[E-Penguin]

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.

Don't forget that we are all a bunch of god - darn socialists.

Riding kangaroos to work and drop bears. Which are both true!

England? I would rather like to think it's portrayed as a veritable medley of upper class, top hatted gentlemen dontcha know. What ho, pip pip and all that other tosh.

Regrettably, within the next 5 years I see the stereotype moving towards "Alreet, fuck aye wif a can o' cheap beer and mah ho wot ah shag. Ahm 12 init".

This very possible change of events saddens me.

When people think of england people think of your god awful teeth.

Where does this stereotype come from? I've always been confused by this.

I dunno, but I've seen a lot of English people with really bad teeth.

English people have the biggest teeth in the world..

At least, that's how the legend goes.

New Zealand. The land where the sheep is seen as an option sexually alongside people. In reality we just decide to be whoever makes a hint of success overseas.

 

[GaijinAndrew]

Romania...Need I say more? An ex communist country, which is currently inhabited mostly by gypsies. It faces a great economic crisis, which could have been avoided, instead the populace was lied to. A corrupt justice system favors only the wealthy, and the police is as likely to beat you up more than the mugger who just stole your wallet. Instead most countries just know Romania for Vlad Tepes...ahem...Dracula. Oh and I mustn't forget:

[Epilepsy]

according to some, americans are fat, redneck assholes

Well i'm sorry but if you don't like the stereotype tell the people around you to stop living up to it .


OT: Australia, So if it's in media it's pretty much just Pandora from borderlands, if it's in the news you're likely hearing about how our government is Banning some awesome new game and if it's TF2 it's... *reads TF2 Comic* 100% correct. Yup.

 

[erto101]

I'm also Polish.


First European kingdom with any democratic elements in their government? Us.

Sorry dude not true. First democracy was Athens and that was a shitty long time ago. And it was more of a democracy than the first polish which was a "Golden Liberty" which means that only nobles (10% of the polish commonwealth) can participate

 

[mageroel]

Holland... so a lot of windmills and wooden shoes (which nobody has, and there aren't THAT many windmills here), and of course the famous word that everyone asks about: Amsterdam. And all of it's 'benefits'. If you say you're bored, they tell you to go see a hooker or something, they always say "Hell, if we had hookers and legal weed I'd know what to do, how the hell can you be bored?!" Sigh.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Negatively: The United States is usually treated as arrogant and stupid, but we're technically the bastard child of every other country.

We have disciplinary issues, I'll admit, but personally, I blame our parents.

Positively: We make big movies?

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Ireland.

Need I say more?

I feel your pain.

Especially as I live in England.

 

[John the Gamer]

Netherlands. 15th richest country in the world, and yet we're too cheap to fight in Afganistan. Also we have the oldest standing army in the world, are known for cheese and windmills and when the sealevel rises any further we'd be fucked.(and very wet) Also we're the first truly capitalist country...(arguably)

 

[scyrin]

in Hawaii...

some morons still think we live in grass shacks and well all know how to surf

 

[Nahhnbah]

Tea and butlers.

Generally being fucking insane.

 

[Toriver]

Let's see...

I'm originally from Minnesota, which means I must be a lutefisk-eating, fishing-obsessed Scandinavian wit' dat dere accent from Fargo (which is in North Dakota) doncha know? That, or a living, breathing Ole and Lena joke. Yah sure, you betcha!

My family is German, which can be summed up in one word: Nazis.

And with my current location, Japan, there are just too many to mention, and they are all wrong.

 

[Danik93]

Sweden is full of sexually atractive blond chicks who speak with an German accent and alwys says "ja?" at the end of each sentence (altough we have the word "ja" which means yes and is pronounced almost as the begining of "ya'll"). Oh and it is snowing all the time here.

Don't forget the polarbears that we ride to work/school!

 

[Monsterfurby]

Germany.

Do I need to go into "ze details"?

 

[SuccessAndBiscuts]

I'm Scottish, most of the stereotypes I'm familiar with are at least quasi-positive or can be twisted into such with creative thinking. Real whisky (ok we didn't invent it but we made it our own) Kilts Bagpipes and general insanity.

The best thing though is the new year, a time when people all round the world come together to celebrate being Scottish, even if they are not.

 

[higgs20]

usually a twiddling your tash kind of villain with bad teeth a stately manor. like dick dastardly

 

[suiluj94]

KANGAROOS, need i say more
