Don't forget the accents, we are infamous for our accents. Sadly if you're not irish, the acent will always go badly. Take for example, every american film ever. I am a bit afraid they honestly think we talk like that, given the amount of times I have seen an irish person with that type of accent.

Canada: mounties, maple syrup, hockey, having a highly trained but laughably equipped army, Just For Laughs, liberating Holland in WW2 (they still like us for that apparently), totally inhumane seal hunting (lol) and... Quebec separatism.

Within Canada - All the international fame plus being the province so desperate for attention from the east we'll elect almost anybody. Hell, some ridings almost elected the Rhinoceros Party.
The World Wildlife thinks it's humane. How would it become humane in your eyes? They shoot the seals in the head killing them instantly. How much more humane can you get? Do they need to inject them with laughing gas so they won't feel a split second of pain before their brain is ripped apart? Or is that the real problem here, that you are, in the words of Pierre Trudeau, a "weak kneed, bleeding heart" and you just don't like the idea that a seal needs to be killed in order to sell it's fur. OR is teh fur the problem? Instead of letting a wildly out of control population get even bigger, killing 385 000 out of 5.6 million should not be allowed? In this world of extreme global warming, where water sources will quickly dry possibly leading to nuclear war, mother nature really doesn't care less than 10% of the total seal population being killed off every year. In Europe, they kill that many animals once every 3-5 days, PETA and Sea Shepard have convinced you that the completely sustainable seal hunt is inhumane and evil.

Being a tax haven... Not as far as I know
Having a childrens home dedicated to abuse... Possibly
Being sunny... Hell naw!
Being one of the only bits of Britain to be taken by the Nazi's in WW2... Definitely not!

Sorry, nope :D

To be honest I didn't think so, I was mostly going on the childrens home, and the WW2 one, I only realised 5 minutes ago I got it wrong, and American's landed in Northern Ireland to re-fuel. I really have to start thinking next time.

Ok, my next guess would be Dunkirk, but the only problem with that is, I don't have a clue where that is!

Alberta, the richest province in Canada. What are we known for? Oil and nearly single handedly supporting not only Alberta itself, but Quebec, and Ontario...oh and did I mention oil?

Canada? Famous? Well, it would be nationalistic of me to say that we've done significant things. Our main function is keeping America in check, and also dispelling the popular notion that the entire continent is populated by idiots.

Idaho: a redneck state in a redneck country. The Aryan Nation used to be headquartered just down the road from my town. I'm pretty sure the county I grew up in has more guns than people.
And potatoes. Idaho is officially the "Gem State", but the licence plates say "Famous Potatoes".

It seems my lol after "totally inhumane" seal hunting was far too inconspicuous ;P. I totally support the seal hunt and think it humane, I just don't post on the internet often enough to remember sarcasm translates very poorly. Sorry for giving the wrong impression. Furthermore I was very proud of my country when I heard our Olympic committee voted unanimously to implement sealskin in every Canadian uniform for Van2010 in response to the EU ban on seal products. Only good thing about Van2010 in my opinion, but that's a discussion for another time.

Didn't my country invent guerilla warfare? I think I remember something about history class about how we first used these tactics against British soldier during the boer wars in South africa.
