Visited the zoo with my son and was surprised to learn that:
Which got me thinking about other countries
Singapore - Little Red Dot
Australia - The Land Down Under
Japan - The Land of the Rising Sun
Thailand - The Land of Smiles
Finland - The Land of a Thousand Lakes
So is your country known by a particular moniker? You can see that my world geography is frightfully lacking. More importantly, do you identify with the moniker?
USA- "The Land Of Big Ass Debt"

Portugal: The country that can neither govern itself nor be governed
—
Napoleão BonaparteIt reminds me of Thailand. It’s the only Southeast Asian country that has never been colonised.
Also you know everything!
I know a bit about this. The Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in Thailand, and they realized that it was impossible to colonize them, so they made friends instead. That friendship has lasted for 5 centuries. On the left bank of the Chao Phraya, in the most noble area of Bangkok, stands the oldest embassy, a visible fruit of this long-standing friendship.
Thanks for making me smart.
Is it true that in Portugal every dish with cod is soul food? Haha
I don't know about the soul, but I can tell you that there are hundreds of recipes with cod. It is undoubtedly one of the most appreciated dishes.
I love myself cod!
Just out of curiosity, what's your favorite codfish dish? Mine is: (I won't translate the name because it sounds weird in English)

Bismark would say this about Spain
About Portugal, used to be called Lusitania. Cames from Lucis meaning Ligth..
There's one thing I have to agree with Bismarck, we're just like the Spanish when it comes to getting on each other's nerves.
I think we call ourselves The Great White North. I could be wrong though. But many around the world call us The People's Republic of Canada.
As in because a lot of Chinese citizens migrate over to Canada?
As in we have ourselves a prime minister in Justin Trudeau who wants to be like Supreme Leader Xi.
South Africa - The Rainbow Nation - because we're a host of different areas/tribes/people that where formed into one country, and ended up with 11 different languages and a bunch of people who just had to learn to get along
My South African friend will stop over in Singapore next month, I can’t wait to say this fun fact with her!
Oh commmmon! My country is known for Singles. Any gusses?
You got me intrigued. Lowest marriage rate? Hmm, South Korea?
You're genius in Guess Science.

Ribeyes?
Thanks for the proof of work answer xP
US - ass holes, I think?
Canada- The Great White North
Countries are an obsolete term.
Countries doesn't exist. Are imaginary boundaries.
You better call it "tribes". Tribes have own regional culture and doesn't belong to any political bond.
