Country Words

[Fetus4188]

When you think of a country what is the word that you think best sums that country up? Feel free to explain why you choose that word and do as many countries as you like.

for example:
USA -> big; because everything about the US is big, its size, its population, its economy, its cars, its houses, its cities, its ego
Japan -> compact; because the Japanese are always trying to make everything as small as possible, they have tiny little phones, tiny little hotel cubbies, tiny computers, tiny cars, tiny houses, tiny everything.

 

[Keirador]

Ireland-> booze. hardly requires explanation.

 

[MattE]

Australia -> Free, patriotic and drunk.

 

[Keirador]

Russia-> cold
Germany-> super-productive
Mexico-> poor
Iraq-> burnt sand
Vietnam-> landmine
Lesotho-> umm. . . let me try again -> . . .nope, nothing.
