Yeah, thank us.

The Irish - their struggle for independence is admirable and bears a lot of resemblance to the Croatian struggle for independence (Croats had their own version of "Republicans" as well), also their culture is very interesting;

Hungarians - in spite of all historical conflicts (prior to 1918) between our two nations, they actively helped Croatia during its crucial moment, the War of Independence (1991-1995), even by actively sending weapons; also their folklore is very interesting;

Russians - great literature, something mystical about their culture, religion and customs in general (but not USSR, God forbid);

Belarussians - because of their resistance to the incorporation into the New World Order; and because of Whiteruthenian;

The French - for their Medieval culture, wonderful churches, as well as cuisine;

Spaniards - for their culture in the Siglo de Oro; amazing architecture and specific temperament;

Germans - I admire their science and historical scholarship, their philology, linguistics

[drgs]

Swedes - openminded
Italians - proud and beautiful people
Russians - easier social scripts

I'm surprised so many of you have written Poles are hard-working when in the past they were described as a lazy people.

Eh our 'lazy' & 'drunk' stereotype come's from time's when Poland have been in annexation by Russia, Prussia and Austria. Then Poles make sabotages, working making nothing just to make fury them. Also from that come many other things.

We are here for correcting bias and lies of the past, among other things.

[Pro Hibernia]

Celts - My people !
French - The history with France and the Scottish, including French assistance in Scottish armed campaigns. Though I’m still pissed they exiled Bonnie Prince Charlie >=(!
Spanish (Concerning everyone in the Iberian Peninsula) - Where to start? The women of course! I love me some women . Traditional Catholic Nations. A lovely and decorated history. Also Spanish help the Jacobites. Granted the campaign never kicked off to good in this case.
Italians - Culture, language, history, faith, they have it all. Hell I’m not even pissed about Roman Conquest, seeing as they had to build a wall to keep us out ! Not to mention brought the warring Kingdoms in Scotland together.
Croatians - They bet England! When Scotland got screwed out of Europe, I cried and drank a whole bottle of Whisky when Croatia bet England!
Greeks - Much the same reason as Italy, except no conquests (or should I say attempted) of my people !.

This is pretty much the only people I really am interested in concerning Europe. I also like Serbia.. And that is about it lol.

I do like other Nations, but i'm a bit tired and can't think of any others.

Poles love alcohol and I don't see anything wrong with this.

The Celts, especially from Ireland and Scotland.

Their heart, their freedom of thought, their eloquence*, their lunacy*, their generosity, their imagination, their sensitiveness, their fighting spirit, their literature*, their poetry, their music, their patriotism and nationalism...

(*: specifically Irish qualities)

[Uogiene]

Lipka Tatars - wonderful pies, made of poppy seeds and honey; really good manners; ability to preserve their culture and traditions in my country (for over 500years), while perfectly integrating in the society.

Ukrainians- overall ukrainian goodness, warmheartedness and beautiful traditional songs.

Russians - their 24/7 helpful nature, literature, classical music and caviar.

Estonians - calmness and reserved behaviour, which actually is really different to my homies.

Poles - funny mini cars in narrow roads, bizzare advertisements on 90% of their buildings, 1791 Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth constitution, Grunwald and my minor szlachta heritage

Greeks - because their surnames sound Lithuanian

Italians - gelatto, wine, beaches and charming short-legged men

French - food, wine, chansons, beautiful little French towns, beautiful language, cars, literature and helpfulness, good manners and style.

Dutch - Persie, Van der Saar & others; Amsterdam; and because I feel normal (not an overgrown mutant) with my 177cm in Holland

Who said that the Dutch are not mutants?

Indeed they are. They were known for being the shortest Europeans a few centuries ago.

The Dutch? Are you sure about that?
