Holland here, legal hookers isn't something I'm planning to do so I'll have to go with legal pot, I know you can pretty much get it in every country but this sure makes it easy.

I like Norway. We got polarbears wandering around in the streets, frozen neanderthals are discovered every day and the vikings!

OT: I like that we are a monarchy and not a democracy.

Damn America, and their bloody grammar!

I love the fact that Britain managed to form the largest empire in history which started with just half of a small island.

Netherlands.
We got free homes, free food, free healthcare, free money and freedom of speech, drugs and diversity. We also have great humour, the best hypocrites arround and an endless supply of free asshattery!

Aside that, we've got a flat watery land, with loads of cows and loads of nothing!
Its like a pancake with just the right ammount of toppings, without having to dig your way down to even see the friggin pancake!

And yes, i'm a sarcastic SoaB, yet i really really do love my country! :D

Finland, great thing about this place?.. Well I live in Turku and always been living here so this is hard.

+Language, it is complicated and doesn't work in translations but we got some sweet things we can do with it. Also that we don't have specific He or She, we have one word for that. (but Is till personally prefer English)
+Free education, and we are the most over educated, almost every one of the people who make their living with art/music have either University or some similar degree.
+Autumn (other seasons are shit)
+Free health care that works depending where you live (Turku, not a change)
+Every major town got their own Philharmonic orchestra.
+General oddity of this country
+We are little plot of land, that no one really cares for.

What do I love about England? A whole bunch. We're quite warm for our latitude, we have a very deep history stretching back thousands of years, we have some really nice food, we make great TV shows, and state healthcare.

I particularly love our history. When you go to the USA everything is practically new. I live right next to Hadrian's Wall. It was built almost 2000 years ago by the Romans and stretches across the country. While a shadow of its former glory I still look at it and think "Holy shit that thing there's 2000 years old!". Since we're so small history is packed into every mile with Castles, Churches (I may not be Christian but those Cathedrals are amazing), and stone circles. Plus we have loads of great Pubs and lovely beer.

Also our Coca Cola is made with real sugar. Not like that American junk.

England... The fact that inexplicably we win when we absolutely have to, but lose in almost every sporting event since 1966.

This probably sounds weird, but that Coca-Cola thing is what impressed me the most. Real sugar? Dang. Now that's classy.

The general Irishness.
It's shaped like a teddy bear.
The folklore is awesome.
It's a beautiful place.
The people are decent enough.
I also like the rain.

There's so much to love about Australia, from the cheap movie prices to the clean water in Melbourne, the gloriously sandy beaches to the kangaroos and koalas.

Of course, there's also a lot to hate as well, but I think we're pretty OK down here.
We have Yahtzee (though that has turned into a hate in his recent videos), we have Uluru (pretty Isolated but, meh), We have pretty much everything you might want (except for the weather in Victoria, yikes!)
but we never get the high rated games because of that stupid, stupid man!

Same goes for Pepsi and other soft drinks. Why they don't put sugar in them in America I can't fathom. Corn Syrup?! Who the hell wants to drink corn?

England. I'm proud of it's history.
I hope we're talking WW2 and such, not colonialism and slavery.
I think you have misunderstood my statement, yet I wrote it without any specifics so I can understand that.

Firstly, I don't approve of slavery in any way. However, I would like to point out that without such an inhumane thing that England and many other countries wouldn't be as well off as they are now.

I am proud of all of it. I can't simply be proud of the 'good' things and not the 'bad' things. History is written by the victor, after all. As a result the history I know of may not be correct.

I may not agree with some of it, but it is a part of my heritage, so I will bear it fully.

We have a Dragon on our flag. A DRAGON people!

Also we have a pretty good landscape, ignoring the south.

Finally, our language isn't dead yet. Hooray!

I won't argue about the food. But the girls? I'm Swedish, pal. We have twins.
