What was invented in your country?

[Danoloto]

To anyone properly interested in this kind of topic, I cannot recommend the televison program 'QI' highly enough. A lot of the things listed here are incorrect (too lazy to make a list, and they are banned anyway.)
So something invented in The Netherlands then...
I think the Microscope is one of the greatest things invented by a Dutch person (Anton van Leeuwenhoek).

-EDIT-

I do apologise, I'm wrong myself. Anton didn't invent the microscope, but was the leading person in micro-biology. He was the first to use a microscope to great effect...

My country gave all of you dudes the necktie. A stylish add-on to your suit and a way to hang yourself. That's how fucked up my country is.

Croatia?

Nisam mislio da će netko točno pogoditi. (I didn't think anyone would guess correctly.)
You win an internets.

Windshield wipers, volleyball, and the semi-auto shotgun.

USA, gettin it done!

the semi-auto shotgun was invented in 1902 in Herstal, Belgium by FN Herstal

No, it was designed by John Browning (an American) in 1898, but wasn't produced until 1902 by FN.

Binge drinking and teenage pregnancy.

Ireland:

-Guided Missiles
-Portable Defibrillator
-Radiotherapy
-Irish Whiskey

And to top it off I'll toss in a drink which captures the stereotype of Ireland: Poitín [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poit%C3%ADn]. It's an alcoholic drink made from potatoes and contains 60%=95% v/v of alcohol.

You left out the entire proper science of Chemistry (no kids, alchemy does not count as a science)! That right obscure internet joke friends, 17th century chemist Robert Boyle was Irish all along!

Also, it's common knowledge that everything England ever invented was stolen from the Irish during the Great Famine, including everything that was invented before the Famine took place!

Excluding oppression. *Ba-dum-tsh*

England, motherbitches. We invented tea, humour, the TARDIS, stiff upper lips, Australia and tea kettles for tanks.

I chose the best out the list. There are some more cool ones, but I'm too lazy to find them.

Edit: Oh! And Football. And Rugby. I'm not talking about American Football, but real Football.
Sorry about that, as well.

EditEdit: Oh, and the first technical Aeroplane. [sub]I think[/sub].
Of course, all countries will find some reason that THEY invented X first and in Y time with Z features.
But as we all know, Britain is awesome. As we totally invented the Top Hat & Snobbishness.
