What do you know about my country? (Argentina)

[StBishop]

Oh yeah, you've got king crab. Only you guys and Chili have King Crab. It's delicious.

Rick Quashnick would like to have a word with you!!

OT: Diego Maradona is one of my favorite athletes of all time and I don't even like soccer. If Diego is any sort of representative of Argentina, then it's safe to say that you guys know how to party.

Apparently I've been slightly misinformed. There is a type of king crab only found in the southern hemisphere, off the southern coast of South America.

I was under the impression that they were the only kind crab. I was wrong.

Is colored light blue in Hearts of Iron II. I'm serious. I'm such a Hearts of Iron nerd I immediately think of a light blue blob beside Brazil when anyone mentions Argentina.

I know I've been told not to cry for you.

I want to know how is my country looked from the outside. Basically just say anything that you can remember about Argentina.

Diego Maradona and Evita.
And for some reason I am thinking of small round black hats....

But honestly (sadly) I don't know much about your country.


*Scribles note to self* Self; learn more about this country.

Nazis retire there.

I thought they went to Mexico... The Electric Six wouldn't lie to me...

You guys are in South America. You have a desert where it never rains. Or was that in Chile?

 

[MetalMonkey74]

I hear from a lot of friends that visited... you guys have great BBQ steak

Argentine isn't to cry for Madonna

Without reading the thread:

- Archrivals of Brazil in soccer.
- Before the United States reclaimed the title at the 2010 FIBA World Championships, Argentina was the defending world champion of basketball and was ranked #1 in the world, ahead of the USA.
- My favorite country to play in both Victoria and Hearts of Iron 2. While Europe's doing its thing I'm building a giant South American empire!
- Best gods-damned steak in the world.

I know that Argentina has an obsession over trying to own a British possession that has an exclusively British population and has been under their control for ~200 years or so.

Aside from that, not much.

 

[TheHecatomb]

I know where it is and that it's where our Dutch prince found his woman. That's about it.

 

[Scde2]

I heard that they legalized same-sex marriage somewhat recently.

 

[MrNickster]

Eve Peron did...something. And everyone lost their shit when Maddona was portraying her in the movie Evita.

 

[Treefingers]

There are unicorns there, right?

 

[Scde2]

The americans did their usual trick of overthrowing a democratically elected leader and installing pinochet a corrupt and brutal dictator which was also backed by britain (but friendly to the us and uk)

You're one country over.

That you can beat England in football.

With and without the "Hand Of God."

 

[Nomanslander]

Well I've heard Argentinian women are legendarily stuck up and self absorbed.

That and you have your own cowboys...=/
