Opinions about other nations

Countries I Love

Scotland
Self-explanatory. Plus, Scotland is a country, only that ur in denial xoxox Scotland is a constituent country which forms the NATION of the United Kingdom.

Tunisia
The people, omfg. There isn't any reason not to love a Tunisian person. They've been through a revolution which they won, they are accepting of anyone and they are certainly among the most resilient people ever. And yes, this is from personal experience.

Bhutan
If I had a country, I would certainly scrap my GDP for the Gross Happiness Index.


Countries I Like

( ) the rest of the United Kingdom
Yaaaa, it's a good place. I'm quite content in living in the United Kingdom. Basically "comme ci, comme ça" but where "comme ça" is the preferred option.

The Western Scandinavian/Nordic Spectrum
It's all about the people.

Japan
IT'S WEIRD AS FUCK JUST LIKE ME

Germany, Austria and Switzerland
Among some of the most human countries I know. They benefit the people rather than their history.

Spain
Because my skin would be sheet white without their beaches.

Timor-Leste (East Timor)
I study this country in my free time and I must say, it's been through a heck of shit. Well done on gaining independence

Laos
Again, I've studied this country in my free time and it's so peaceful. It's like the introvert of Asia


Countries that I have conflicting opinions on

Turkey
I like Turkey, don't get me wrong, but...... can we just get rid of Erdogan thanks

Russia
A nation full of homophobia. Regardless, there are good things it has done and (SURPRISINGLY) helped NATO evade all out war. Hmm. Nice job.

p.s - as i see this cypriot discussion getting heated, here's a friendly reminder to just shut up about the warplane okay. let turkey and russia sort it out, not our forum members biting each other like wtf no. 

Australia
I like the country, just that it's asylum policy is 100% absolute and pure shite.

China
Oppressive government. Prime examples: Tiananmen Square massacre and the Hong Kong protests. But... most things are made there so I can't really complain, although the human rights record there is abysmal.

Cuba
It's good that you and the USA are patching ways but you have NO FUCKING RIGHT to criticise a country for something it never promoted. Oh, Cuba's response to the Paris attacks, where art thou? It's like fucking shouting at a kid for fighting back a bully.


Countries whose governments I don't like
 
Israel
Honestly, if Netanyahu could just step down, I'd cheer. Hate their government with an absolute passion. I'm sorry to all the Israelis on this forum, but I do not agree with any of the policies that Likud has to offer, especially this... oppression against Palestine.

Palestine
But then the Palestinian government isn't doing shit either to make it better. Instead of trying to negotiate or aid in Israel's ploy to quell Hamas, there's this natural reflex where the government automatically criticises Israel's decisions - except in the case where political prisoners are freed (which, is, a good thing).

p.s - these are GOVERNMENTS not PEOPLE

North Korea
It's unhelpful to say the whole of North Korea is at fault. The government brainwashed them into believing that A is A and certainly not B - the exact reason why I hate the Kim Dynasty.

Syria
Bashar Al-Assad is a dick. Enough said.


Country that I outright don't like at all

Saudi Arabia

LEAVE!

We only want your oil. Nothing else. We don't want this... Wahhabi torture being indicted on foreigners for "un-Islamic doings" (hmm... here's an example). This country is a prime example of how brainwashed politics and religion ABSOLUTELY DO NOT MIX. Women get tortured by their polygamist husbands and the women get jailed? They aren't even allowed to DRIVE. I'm pretty sure that this is the government's doing and nothing to do with Islam, as I'm pretty sure the first Grand Imam didn't have a Porsche he drove around in back then, uh huh?

Just go. Nobody wants this country. We, of course, accept Islam. It's a religion, you are entitled to your own belief, and I find that the concept of Islam is somewhat heartening. What we don't want is a fucked up political hellhole.
