What's your country/state famous for?

[Abedeus]

First country to fight and defend against Hitler in WWII.

Maria Curie. Copernicus. Kościuszko, national hero of Poland, Lithuania, Belarus and the USA. Mariusz Pudzianowski (if you are a fan of weight lifting and you don't know him, you are nothing), Adam Małysz, Robert Kubica, Mieczysław Bekker (Lunar Roving Vehicle used on few of the Apollo missions on the Moon). Karol Wojtyła, better known as John Paul II, Lech Wałęsa, Józef Hofmann (many inventions, including windshield wipers and few other related to cars and pianos). Pretty big list.

And that is modern history, I'm not going to talk about the medieval times. We reigned over half of the Eastern Europe.
