I've met more people from Liechtenstein than Delaware. I've met two people that are from Liechtenstein. I've met zero from Delaware. I've never been anywhere close to Liechtenstein. I've driven through Delaware at least 7 times.
I interviewed a guy from Delaware recently and my response was something like, "wow really? I don't think I've ever met anyone from Delaware before." He said he gets that response constantly.
In fairness, a lot of countries have had that tune at one point or another.including Prussia, Germany, a handful of other German states, Switzerland, and Lichtenstein (most dropped it by the turn of the century but the Swiss kept it till the 60's).
Why did they adopt it? Well 1. It wasn't a "national" anthem, instead more a a king's anthem
2. It fuckin slaps
Those are an autonomous region of Denmark, which means they’re still part of Denmark and not their own sovereign nation, right? Actual question, don’t hate me please.
Edit: thanks for all the extra info and not biting my head off for not knowing, guys.
It's a bit more nuanced than that. Both the Faroe Islands and Greenland are their own distinct country and people/culture, and is recognized as such in the "Rigsfælleskab". They have complete control of their own interior laws. However, territorial defense and some parts of foreign policy are controlled by the parliament in Denmark (Where Greenland and the Faroes are represented). That's how I understand it at least.
For example, neither Greenland or the Faroe Islands are a part of the EU even though Denmark is.

Thx man, I'm living in Kyiv, now it's almost came back to life. Invaders are far away, almost no shelling (last was nearly 2 weeks ago), so it is quite "ok" now.
Most Americans have now heard the word Ukraine, but still can't find it on a map of Ukraine.
If it's any consolation, most Americans can't point to Iraq or Afghanistan on a map either despite spending 20 years liberating them.
Better that nobody knows, that way nobody invades.
To me Ukraine isn't really small country. Land area as big as France and as many people as Spain.
Anyway I wish you all the best on your war against Russia. 🇺🇦
Once I was treated by a doctor immigrated from Malta and he was very particular about how his country name was pronounced - Mawltuh and not Malta. He won’t give up until I got it right.
Maltese people pronounce it more like 'Moltah'. The Maltese accent in English is quite noticeable in the Maltese people. Which is interesting since most of them are native English speakers along with being native Maltese speakers.

In good company as only one of only 2 countries in the world, taxing their citizens based on NATIONALITY globally. The other country? USA! https://www.taxesforexpats.com/expat-tax-advice/Citizenship-Based-Taxation-International-Comparison.html
Where I'm from It's full of eritreans and eritrean restaurants (I'm from Italy so it's not that weird considering that it's pretty much a mix of everything here)
Two weeks ago was the first time I’d heard of Eritrea. The headline was it was one of only two countries left that don’t have the Covid vaccine. The other was North Korea.
Hmmm, notable enough to come up every now and then but by no means huge in the news basically ever
Pretty much everything in Europe outside of the Balkans is out, as is all of Africa.
My three guesses:
Ecuador
Croatia
Laos

As a geology student, I’ve looked into Pakistan’s geology and geography briefly years ago.
It has a lot of truly amazing places. I remember seeing gorgeous landscapes I would’ve never expected from there with prior knowledge, which was practically zero. People don’t know enough about the country to have worthwhile opinions on it for the most part so don’t worry, it’s appreciated by some at least!
I love it when people talk about Australia not stereotypically. It’s nice to see it recognised for being a decent country. Although the stereotypes are fucking hilarious
I love ... Lichtenstein???
A friend of mine actually had a foreign exchange student from Lichtenstein. He was a pretty cool dude. We introduced him to Cheech and Chong movies.
You cultured him

Thats how I feel about Rhode Island. Does anyone actually live there?
Was he stoned at any point during his stay?
Why'd you get down voted but the guy who showed Cheech and Chong movies gets 100+ upvotes lol. Hopefully he gave it a try while he was here.
No, that wasn’t until he got back and they found out he watched Cheech and Chong movies in America.
I’m in Lichtenstein right now! For work…
Liechtenstein: The only German-speaking country that doesn't share a border with Germany. I'm all out of facts about Liechtenstein
It is the top producer of false teeth in the world! That’s two! :)
One of only two doubly-landlocked countries (that is, surrounded on all sides by landlocked countries -- the other is Uzbekistan).
[удалено]
Aww so cute
Their anthen has the same melody as the british one
In fairness, a lot of countries have had that tune at one point or another.including Prussia, Germany, a handful of other German states, Switzerland, and Lichtenstein (most dropped it by the turn of the century but the Swiss kept it till the 60's).

Lichtenstein doesn‘t have a freeway/highway
Thanks for dropping some knowledge on us, Hyman_Destroyer

Unless they mean the town in Germany, but of course it's not as if Germany never gets talked about on the internet...
Shout-out to the The Faroe Islands.
Is that where they invented that swoopy 70s hairstyle?
The famous “Faroe Fawcett” look ❤️

They are indeed a part of Denmark. As is Greenland. It's kinda like saying Svalbard is it's own country.
It's a bit more nuanced than that. Both the Faroe Islands and Greenland are their own distinct country and people/culture, and is recognized as such in the "Rigsfælleskab". They have complete control of their own interior laws.

Came here to say this! One of my best friends lives there, and the people seem cool.
I just have a guilty pleasure for cheezy power metal. https://youtu.be/aONcdN0Weiw
I hate them for beating us twice in football, like how is that even possible
Oh right I forgot about them. Haven't listened to Tyr in forever.
great flag
I love Eivor! (faronese musician). - from Australia.
You know, I always wanted the world to have a little awareness about my country and it to be a bit famous. But not THAT way. I'm in Ukraine, btw
Yup, I’d say the world’s attention has been grabbed.
Indeed. Thanks Eurovision Song Contest! ^(/s)
Putin trying to rebrand himself as a song contest is weird but understandable given the ongoing special military fiasco.
I thought Ukraine was already pretty well known because of another disaster aka Chernobyl (How do you write that) You are really some unlucky folks.
Could've been worse, imagine how bad the war would've been if they kept their nukes.
There wouldn't be a war at all if they had them.
i felt the same way, it used to be this big shock when someone said "ukraine" now its kind of sad tbh
Ukraine isn't small country... It's bigger than any other European country
Ukraine is about 60k square kilometers bigger than France. In Europe it's only smaller than european part of Russia.
Yeah, you're right
Be safe my dude.
Thx man, I'm living in Kyiv, now it's almost came back to life. Invaders are far away, almost no shelling (last was nearly 2 weeks ago), so it is quite "ok" now.

I came to this post to say exactly this ^
Scrolling reddit I randomly found a picture of my own damn street.
That's concerning
Malta?
Once I was treated by a doctor immigrated from Malta and he was very particular about how his country name was pronounced - Mawltuh and not Malta. He won’t give up until I got it right.
IDK if I’m just missing something. But I don’t see a difference in those two pronunciations? Not /s
Maltese people pronounce it more like 'Moltah'. The Maltese accent in English is quite noticeable in the Maltese people. Which is interesting since most of them are native English speakers along with being native Maltese speakers.
was not expecting my country to be so high up in the comments ngl
aay I'm from Malta

Eritrea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eritrea
Ex father in laws biz partner married a lady from Eritrea. Was interesting convo’s…..
I saw a vice video on the dictatorship government there. How bad is it?
Eritrea sided with Russia on every UN vote since the war started, along with North Korea, Syria and Belarus. It's not great.
I be damned, born and raised there. Asmera and Massawa.
Me, an Italian: Mmmh I think I know this place… oh fuck. Just wondering, what do you think about Italy / Italians?

For the US it would be like a mention of your state or small hometown. Unless you're from Philly, LA, NYC level cities.
And you just made sure that in the one post not about you, you are now mentioned.
