You're Ireland!
Mystical and rain-soaked, you remain mysterious to many people, and this makes you intriguing. You also like a good night at the pub, though many are just as worried that you will blow up the pub as drink your beverage of choice. You're good with words, remarkably lucky, and know and enjoy at least fifteen ways of eating a potato. You really don't like snakes.

I got Ireland and I'm Irish!

I actually do know at least 15 ways to eat a humble spud...where did that cultural stereotypes thread go to?

Like johnslat, I'm Siddhartha.

Country: Switzerland. First Switzerland on the thread, I think. Like Laura C, my country is ancestorally significant. Three-quarters of my ancestors were Swiss.

You're A People's History of the United States!
by Howard Zinn
After years of listening to other peoples' lies, you decided you've had enough. Now you're out to tell it like it is, with all the gory details and nothing left out. Instead of respecting leaders, you want to know what the common people have to offer. But this revolution still has a long way to go, and you're not against making a little profit while you wait. Honesty is your best policy.

I'm proud to say that I've never respected leaders in my life. Very Happy

I'm still traumatised by having my free school milk taken away by Thatcher the Milk Snatcher.

You're Spain!

"You like rain on the plain, as well as interesting architecture and a diverse number of races and religions. You like to explore a lot, but sailing, especially in large groups, never really seems to work out for you. Beware of pirates and dictators bearing bombs. And for heavens' sake, stop running around bulls! It's just not safe!"

And I have been looking into moving there recently.

lots of fellow thais on this board.... but the first roots, i think

You're Thailand!
Calmer and more staunchly independent than almost all those around you, you have a long history of rising above adversity. Recent adversity has led to questions about your sexual promiscuity and the threat of disease, but you still manage to attract a number of tourists and admirers. And despite any setbacks, you can really cook a good meal whenever it's called for. Good enough to make people cry.

You're Roots!
by Alex Haley
While almost everyone agrees that you're brilliant, no one knows quite how to categorize you. Some say that you're a person with an amazing family tree. Some say that you're just a darn good storyteller. Others say that you're both and don't much care where to draw the line. What is known is that your people have been through a great number of trials and that you are where you are because of hard work. You have nothing to lose but your chains.

Libya!

The funny thing is, just last night I jokingly said to a friend, "well, Libya's opened up, maybe I should look for work there." HMM!

You're Cambodia!

Life's been really rough, but it's slowly improving. You know
way too much about the skeletal structure of humans, mostly from being forced to study it. This has given you a fear of many things, most especially the color red.
The future has to be more promising though, and your greatest adversary can now never come back to hurt you any more.

Hmm. Scary.

You're Inherit the Wind

To you, the learning process is inherently about controversy. If
people aren't having their minds stretched, how could they possibly be learning? This makes you a good but unpopular teacher, and the people around you are ready to make it a federal case. All you're asking them to do is evolve a little. But they would like you to be more creative. You would make an excellent lawyer, even though people think you love monkeys.

Oh dear! I swear the monkey thing was just a rumour.

You're North Korea! 
Look out!  You're absolutely wacko.  Completely insane.
 There's no telling what you're going to do, and it could make you a danger to
yourself and others.  People are so scared of you that they usually just cover
their eyes and pretend you're not there.  The main impact this has had is to
make you even more scary, as you yearn for attention and contact with the outside

And the answer is...

You're Switzerland!
While most people think you're sort of stuck up, it's really just that people don't interest you that much. That's why you'd rather just stay out of everything and be as neutral as possible. Somewhere in there is an ability to be a psychiatrist because you're so objective, but you might just be too cold for that .

Cold? Moi? Me thinks not.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Capergirl, if you don't stop coming up with these things I'm never going to get any sleep! Smile

After being named Switzerland, I laughed when I saw my book identity.

You're The Guns of August!
by Barbara Tuchman
Though you're interested in war, what you really want to know is what causes war. You're out to expose imperialism, militarism, and nationalism for what they really are. Nevertheless, you're always living in the past and have a hard time dealing with what's going on today. You're also far more focused on Europe than anywhere else in the world. A fitting motto for you might be "Guns do kill, but so can diplomats."

Geez!

Dear khmerhit,
Hold on there - we can't have TWO popes. The Catholic Church already went through that back in the Middle Ages. I'm afraid you're going to have to resign, seeing as I was elected first.
Regards,
Pope John
