#1 The most stable country in the world
#2 Number one in press freedom in the world
#3 The second best country to be a mother
#4 The best school system in the West
#5 The third least corrupt country in the world
Debunking Pain:
#1 Finns work less hours than Spaniards
#2 Weather... ok, next one!
#3 Diversity... which part of the country is trying to break away today?
#4 The same could be said about Finns
#5 Yeah, groceries, restaurants and alcohol are cheaper in Spain. Fine, but our higher taxes actually come back to the people and not in the pockets of PP and PSOE.

You missed the joke, mister Ariete.
But sure, your country is great, you have every reason to be proud of it.
Now, are you referring to the fact that we kept the Pound over the Euro? Or are you referring to the cheap sh*t British shop, called Poundland, that sells a load of tat?!

Both. Poundland group is on top Business news today.
I was not referring to Little England or Britain or Little Britain like the remain camp is suggesting after Brexit.
I probably would go with Atlantica or Waterland for my country.
I find the name Netherlands a bit boring and can be strange for those that don't know the meaning behind it, because Nether can also mean Inferior plus it sounds too much like Neverland from Peter Pan.
I like the name of my country, I won't change it.
But for Netherlands... I have to admit that, while the country itself is awesome, the name is boring. And depending on the language, like Portuguese - it's officially called "PaÃses Baixos" (lit.: "low countries") - it may sound even more boring, but almost everyone here refer to the country actually as "Holanda", even in the media. "PaÃses Baixos" is used only in encyclopaedias, in scholar books (sometimes only as a footnote) and for diplomatic purposes.
We know that Holland is the name of two provinces of the Netherlands (Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland), but, indeed, it doesn't make sense for us, since Austria has also two states called "Austria" (Upper Austria and Lower Austria). Thus, for us in Brazil, you are and will ever be, uncontroversially, a "holandês" - even if you are from North Brabant.
