Ireland
-
The best place on the planet. Everyone rocks there and its so green and lovely. We have our own language which is one of the longest surviving in the world but the vast majority of us speak English because those bastards invaded our island and took all our land and opressed us with huge taxes that just went straight into the King of Englands pocket, but then in the early 20th century we fought back and won most of the country back (we didnt get 6 counties in the north). Now we have a really bad government but who cares IREALND ROCKS!
P.s. Noone in Ireland sounds the way you americans think we do. And not everyone in Ireland is called SEAMUS! -
The home to the best people in the world. They love everyone and love to party. They know how to have a good time.
