As the topic title says!
What are the national prides of X freaks?

I'm from Belgium (as you all know XDDD) and I LOVE the food. Belgian food is the best! (For example: fries, chocolate, ... OM NOM NOM)

I'm from Australia and I'm proud of the fact that we're both a continent and a country. YOU HEAR THAT, EUROPE?! THAT MAKES US SUPERIOR!

Honestly I'm terribly unpatriotic and can't think of a single thing to be proud of. This place is just BORING

Oh, if I was British I'd be proud of... err.. no, wait.. if I was Irish, I'd be proud of Lord Wellington!

Sir Arthur Wellesley... 1st Duke of Wellington. General in British army in the wars with Napoleon Bonaparte. :3

But I'm not Irish nor British... so... hmm.. there's nothing to be proud of here. ><

I'M A FERRET R U BLIND?
I mean, I feel (national) pride for four countries - and I've only lived in three of those - so yeah lol.

Estonia: Is where I was born, I love the country and the culture all around.
Germany: Germans are hilarious, everyone who says otherwise is a big fat liar and jealous. We have scientists, inventors and stuff, shit yeah.
Austria: We have Schnitzel. Austrians are even more hilarious than Germans and very laid back. We have Mozart, shit yeah.
Russia: Where my momma was born. Of all the nations, Russians are the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. We also have the best/funniest curses, no one can compete, sorry.
