Texas: beating up quee... err, cowboys, being friendly, Austin city limits, BBQ, once being a country, plus all the stuff the guy above me said.

I can't imangine living in another state/country. my heart is in Texas.

Reading, England was the home of the Huntley and Palmers biscuit factory... and Reading Festival I guess.

 

[ThreeWords]

England - Too many things to list.

My thoughts exactly =D

 

[Caimekaze]

Kahngarus! And dropbears.

We're famous for a lot of myths, really.

Also, around ninety percent of our animals can kill you by looking at you. That one isn't a myth.

 

[SamuelT]

The Netherlands, birthplace of translated juristiction.

No, really. First everything was in Latin, and a Dutch man translated it. "Something De Groot" I think his name was.

And liquorish.

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.

 

[Axeli]

Umm... Alcoholism? Conan O'Brien joked about us? Polar bears?

Sigh... A sad, sad country.

 

[Hazy]

Florida. The Sunshine State, not to be confused with South Detroit (Which is what the local populace can be easily mistaken for)

 

[Jsay18]

Minnesota - I...I don't know, uhhhhh, were some of the hardest sons-a-bitches in the USA? and uh...we share a border with canada, OH AND WE MAKE JOKES ABOUT THOSE CRAZY IOWIGENS!! (How do you spell it?)

 

[Korial]

This pretty much sums it up, though it is a bit silly towards the end.

[Fallswhale]

South Dakota,
We sculpt with explosives, import pretty birds to hunt, and let the Hell's Angels run wild for 2 weeks in the summer.

 

[Gladion]

Note that not a single German has replied to this thread yet.

England: supressing many countries, including, but not limited to: Scotland, Ireland, India, South Africa, America,and China

But in all seriousness, the English have a lot they have given to the world.

 

[literallyanythingelse]

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

IKEA...

 

[Herbanator]

Nottinghamshire, England... Factories.. Raleigh Bikes, John Player Cigarettes.. Goose Fair..

Am I forgetting something?

*keels over from an arrow with Nottingham Tourist Board stamped on it*

Oh yeah, him.. and his merry men..

The USA is famous worldwide for being populated by fat, ignorant, pop culture worshipping, consumeristic Christians.

My home state of Wisconsin, however, is famous for its cheese and serial killers(We also have the coolest leather lampshades here. You guys should get some).

COLORADO IS THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD.

While I couldn't be certain of that, seeing as I've never been there, my favourite band is from Colorado. So that's one gold star I'll have to award to you guys

 

[MasterMuffinMan]

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.
