You are pretty close, Barry
I think most of us have one part of our own country we "love" most.
Very interesting point about Germans and Italiens and most certainly true
My Dad encounterd, while working in Lybia, many inhabitants who said:
Italiens? They should work here? Oh, Please dont!
On the other hand the Italiens call the Lybiens a horde of barefooted People.
You should lecture about the historical background why Swedes are so "loved" by the Norwegians and Danes
my most beloved quote:
I came, I saw and I kicked them into their arses!
Its nice to be a Preiss, but its higher to be a Bayr
