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?

Portugal: The country that can neither govern itself nor be governed — Napoleão Bonaparte

It 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.

Bismark would say this about Spain

I am firmly convinced that Spain is the strongest country of the world. Century after century trying to destroy herself and still no success.“

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.

India is known for the 'land of diversity' because we have various types of food, speak different languages, celebrate different festivals, and practise different religions and traditions.

India is also known as 'the land of mysteries' for its various enigmatic natural phenomena or eccentricities associated with its religions and culture.

As the land of spirituality: India is known for its deep spiritual and philosophical traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. It's a destination for many spiritual seekers.

India is also depicted as the Land of Yoga and Ayurveda.

As the Land of Cuisine: Indian cuisine is renowned globally for its variety and flavors, with each region having its own distinct culinary traditions.

India is also referred as Arya Varta, Tenjiku, Bharat, Hindustan, and Al-Hind. Bharat, being the most famous now, comes from 'Bharata,' the Sanskrit word. It refers to 'Agni' (fire).

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.
