What's your country/state famous for?

[Warwolt]

Sweden is famous for the Gothenburg metal, have shot a man up in space (Krister Fuglesang), having sexy women, and...well, that's all I've got so far. I'll come up with more later.

Don't forget meatballs, IPRED, The Piratebay, being a SOCIALIST NIGHTMARE, tunafish and so on

Why do people know us for tuna?

Because were the only one who actually eats it. Also, I meant surstromming.. lol

IKEA...

Yeah, we really got the world with that one, huh?
Silly people, thinking that we actually pack the correct amount of screws and pack the correct instructuíons...
The truth is that on every IKEA blueprint there is a small geometrical figure, designed to shut down the logical functions of the human brain, and when all the world except us are affected, we will rule it.
Forever.

Colorado- We have mountains...
Man I feel lame!

Have a little pride man.

Colorado! Best Damn state in the union, b*tch! Bicenntenial state! What now?

NO really though, we have scenic mountains great for climbing, hiking, skiing, dying in avalanches, some hot spring resorts, and maybe thats why we're the leanest state in the US! (which is kind of like being the in the honor roll at special school but roll with it.) Beautiful sprawling plainsland with an authentic 'western' feel to it. Numerous ranchs and farms which supply large amounts of crops and cattle to the rest of our country (maybe THATS how we're the leanest...) Historical landmarks including the worlds highest freestanding bridge at Canon City, Bents Fort, Pikes Peak (which counts), Vail, Eisehower tunnel, Rockie Mountains...

In addition, we have an incredible natural history museum, art galleries to rival any larger cities, incredible enrichment in the art, dancing, and ethnic festivals, kickass sports teams including the Denver Nuggest, Colorado Mammoth, and (sort of, not really) Colorado Rockies. And here's the greatest part: virtually no tornados, hurricanes, and blizzards from september until april!

COLORADO IS THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD.

That's more like it. I've lived in Colorado my entire life, and I don't see any reason to move. You forgot to mention the Avalanche in kickass sports teams (hockey: best sport on the planet).

The best part is the weather. I've seen lightning during a snowstorm. I've seen it raining in the back yard and sunny in the front yard. I've worn shorts in a blizzard because the day started out 70°F. It keeps you on your toes.

Oh, and we're also know for Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Georgia - The hill people that live in our mountains consume more Mountain Dew than any place in the nation.

Australia
tricking tourists into believing in the existence of dropbears and making fun of new zealanders

 

[TwistedEllipses]

My county (UK equivalent to state) is famous for having a cliff that is the number one suicide spot in the country - Beachy Head.

Woo, go East Sussex. We also had the youngest and oldest mothers in the country simultaneously.

There's a weird sort of symmetry in that, for every suicide attempt a chav or an old person gives birth...it would be beautiful if it wasn't so messed up!

Don't forget about Fritzl!

 

[Kimberland]

Ontario is famous for having the worst NHL team, having the capitol of Canada, and burning down the white house.

Ah, ok well i do agree with the first two, however the last is in correct, for a cupple of reasons, 1) We were still a colony, the burning of the whit house took place in the war of 1812, and we officaly became a country in 1867.
2) It was british troops sent from england who accualy burnt the white house down.

Sorry to do this, but I am a History Buff.

Anyways, Ontario, We have the Maple leafs, maple suryp, and trees, lots of fucking trees
