The french dog could be Luxemburg.

I think the poodle is Monaco.

Poland - the thief with a wheel and pipes

I think he is meant to look like one of those Polish workers and not a thief though.

^ there's/was a "thief" prejudice about Poles, that they steal cars

As I heard, Poles are known with being lazy. That's why he looks tired.

LOL, Poles are some of the hardest working people in the world xD

 

[AlekS]

@Grinch. he looks suspicious that's why he's walking away from the others, instead of going in their direction :twisted:
+ the instrument in his hand - classical thief. And yes, he's dressed up as the worker too, obviously.

Yes there was, I don't think so much anymore though.

Where have you heard that? Poles are often considered the hardest workers in Europe (and maybe the whole world even) and that may explain why they are taking jobs all over the continent. The lazy thing is something totally new to me and I have never heard such a prejudice anywhere.

That map is inaccurate and outdated, esp if you talk about votes.

It's still kinda fun though

 

[AlekS]

Nope, because it's based on the negative prejudices mostly.

I dunno. It depends how one wants to look at it.

Ok calm down! Rumors don't always have to be true And thief rumor is worse than lazy rumor.

That's my opinion so don't order me what to do
and leave your personal judgement about me to yourself

Both rumors are bad, but atleast the thief one I recognize from the 90's, but the lazy one? That's contrary to everything I've heard (and experienced aswell).

Maybe it's a prejudice in Turkey I dunno because in rest of Europe it's more or less the contrary, ask the Brits and Irish if Poles are "lazy". On every building site, in half the shops and restaurants etc in London etc. there's Poles working.

While Swedish youth go to London to party and take drugs Poles are going there to collect as much fortune as they possibly can working 24/7 almost.

xtool

 

[My Star]

As an Irish person I'd like to say that Poles are perhaps, in general, some of the hardest working people I know.

Hmm, I think Bulgaria's to the left of Ukraine because the man's clothes make the Bulgarian flag from top to bottom - white, green, red. There might be no Slovakia/San Marino but Slovakia reentered in 2009, while San Marino only took part once, so yeah...

 

[Canuck]

lol i think this is great! i really wouldnt take the people seriously either, as they're based on stereotypes and of course isn't really true... if there was a canadian there i'd totally expect them to be either a lumberjack or hockey player with missing teeth and a black eye xD


also, i cant really understand who is who in the balkans. clarification/explanation?

And I would wanted something more positive
I don't think that catastrophe which gave 2 million people cancer and diseases which can't be cured (including myself) can be funny in any aspect.
If you wanna laugh - no prob.
