Countries with Stupas?

Countries with most monks?

I think Ireland famously has none at all (McDonald's restaurants, that is).

Oh we have them, except we call them MaccyD's as in: "Stall on dere Sham, we're going down to MaccyDs to get a burger and a shoot-out"

Edit: Countries that have rice based national dishes?

 

[W|M]

That's not right, as Brazil's national dish is partially rice-based.

 

[LAnkou]

that wouldn't explain viet nam either

 

[Masada]

... Indonesia has lots of Stupas. Lots of them, including big ones.

Countries with high trade surpluses?

 

[Samez]

countries who claim to have invented (some kind of) noodles?

I think you're right about Europe though it's not very commonplace in everyday life here.

 

[Joecoolyo]

I think we're in desperate need of a hint.

 

[madviking]

Countries which do not like madviking.

 

[sepamu92]
