Norway !!!

1. Leiv Eiriksson discovered the Americas five centuries before Columbus.

2. Fridtjof Nansen, the philantropist, author, scientist, inventor, statesman, discoverer and Nobel Prize winner.

3. The heroes of Telemark, Max Manus, Milorg and other resistance fighters during WWII.

4. Peter Wessel Tordenskjold, who sank a superior Swedish navy in the 17th century.

5. The creator of The Simpsons, Matt Groening, is of Norwegian heritage.

6. The UN Human Development Index consistently places Norway first or among the top 5 best countries every year. I believe Norway has been on top 6-7 times, more than any other country.

7. Henrik Ibsen's plays are the second mot played in the world, only beaten by Shakespeare.

8. Edvard Munch is known around the world, especially for his "Scream" painting.

9. Edvard Grieg is known around the world, especially for his "Morning Mood", which is used in pretty much any morning scene in a Hollywood movie.

10. The world's most winning athlete is Norwegian Ole Einar Bjørndalen, followed by another Norwegian, Bjørn Dæhlie.

11. A Norwegian scientist discovered how aurora borealis (northern lights) come about.

We spent 500 billion to save bank, now our pension is too low, and elders can't feed themselves.

Is that something to be proud of? Probably not.

Northern Ireland!​

Now i don't know if my country is of any importance in our world, most likely not, and I didn't know much about it all myself, apart from the troubles but thats not really anything to be proud of. However i did some research, and found out that chocolate milk was created by Northern Irish, Hans Sloane. Who doesn't like chocolate milk? Anyway thats really the only thing i saw that was worth noting. #northernirelandshittestcountryEU​
