Switzerland is known for insuring up to a million dollars in banks, compared to the only 100,000 here.. And for a pharmaceutical company.concrete89 said:

But to all who think the cuckoo clock comes from anywhere else, you're wrong. Black Forest Germany was where the idea was put into work first.

At least that's even what I see from the information put out publicly from inside the US, it must be 10 fold more stereotypical for another country looking at it all.
US: tons of stuff.
North Carolina: We're known for having mountains, being less Southern than South Carolina, and being more Southern than Virginia. We have our own distinct (delicious) style of BBQ pork, a lot of good college basketball teams, and a bizarrely good hockey team, considering how not-from-the-north we are. Between the Buried and Me is from Raleigh, which is about a 20-minute drive from where I live. Unfortunately, that's also where Clay Aiken is from. These things happen.

My country is famous for clubbing baby seals (even if it is only half true, they're essentially 1st graders), maple syrup, bacon, hockey, saying eh, being nice and being cold.
Also, that accent every American cartoon uses for Canadians, that's either Newfoundland, Ontario or some other maritime province. In B.C. we speak like Americans from the northern states. An American (who doesn't have a southern accent) and a Western Canadian talking to each other would sound like two Americans.
Rant over.
B.C. is famous for pot. That's about it.
Great...
