I come from the middle of nowhere in the state of North Carolina. We generally have poor educations and are missing a lot of teeth. We like to play the banjo, slap our knees, beat our wives, hunt squirrels, drink heavily, and drive obnoxiously loud trucks with oversized wheels.

America

Fat and obnoxious and stupid.

And somehow we're also lumped in with being uber patriotic.
Well, I live in the Ozarks, so add toothless redneck, with an IQ of 60, and being completely obsessed with Bass Pro Shop on top of that.

It might just be weird for me because I don't meet many Icelanders on foreign sites.

I almost forgot. I think our geysers are something Iceland is known for as well. But that might be more famous then stereotypical...

Norway, apperently it's on the north pole, the capital of Sweden.
We live in iglo's and there are polarbears everywhere.

Norway is NOT on the northpole, it's a country damn you!
We have houses!!! and the polarbears are only on Svalbard, a group of islands that belong to Norway. Call me a sweed once more, and I cannot ganrantee your safty
This. Also, we tame polar bears by beating them into submission with our crazy viking berserker fury and drink shitty beer. Also, we're aryan superpeople who are all tall, blonde, blue-eyed and muscular. And at the same time we're mini-america.
...yeah...

Canada is stereotypically known for trees, snow, politeness, igloos, and "eh?"

In reality most of Canada is desert and beaches with the occasional forest, little snow, and jerks all around. But don't tell anybody, eh?

Yeah, they're definitely more famous, rather then stereotypical. Since you can´t stereotype a nation by their landscape.

Illinois, USA.

We are all fat, burger loving hypocrites, if American stereotypes are right.
If Illinois stereotypes are to be believed.

I am Black, and its always cold and windy here.

Which is wrong.
I'm white as a Christmas tree.

With Australia, I will leave *some* populations out of this.

For the main Australia the stereotype is that I drink lots of beer (hate the taste), love my sport (bores me), lazy (maybe some truth there), tanned (I am a ginger, tanning is stupid) and live in the isolated Outback (the majority leave close to the coast, I am not an exception). Oh and speak in heavily-slang speech. Now with that, I attempt to speak somewhat formally in everyday life.

Believe me, the Australian stereotype is one of the least true to the reality.
This sterotype is for the people who live out of cities. I don't know what the percentage is, but for that proportion of the population, the stereotype is at least fairly close to reality.

Yeah, I figured as much.

But the geysers are still a little fun to see. Even if I've seen enough of them to last me a lifetime...

Ohio(northern US), most people think we are criminal gangsters if we live in CLevend or cincinatti, and if you dont live in the cities they think you live on a farm and grow soy beans

I'm from Kentucky.

I supposedly don't eat or drink anything but Fried Chicken and bourbon and I don't own shoes. I poo in the backyard and have more dead animal carcasses in my house than lightbulbs. I've also apparently never been to the dentist and am an inbred clansman.

Please, for the love of FSM, kill me...

(Although we do have a bad-ass movie...)
I'm a Louisvillian, and apparently all we do is kill each other and host horse races.

I'm, like, from California, right? So, like, I must obviously talk like this all the time.

Not true, fortunately.

Everyone assumes I own a surfboard too, and that I live in either LA, San Francisco, or San Diego.

I don't. Not even close. I'm actually closer to Reno than San Francisco.

Also, people say we have nice weather.
They don't know jack. It gets ridiculously hot. Like, people dying from heat stroke hot. And it's always terribly bright and sunny, and it never snows. Ever. It's sad.

I think we're so average here that our stereotype is being average. There are quite a few hillbillies, though, especially out in the rural parts of the state. They don't really feature too prominently, so we're just average.
