I felt like making this thread because people seem to like to brag about their country. This is, to a point, good. Let's have this thread as a thread to brag about your country, not to flame others. Let's not repeat Vietnam and flame a whole country now.
To start it off:
Canada. We won WWI, almost singlehandedly.
We saved most of Europe, a little help from the British Lowland Division.
We got to Berlin first, despite the having to fight and liberate countries along the way, instead of just running for Berlin.
A little side note, the first Allied forces to enter Berlin were not only Canadian, but also the RHLI, or the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry. I'm Hamiltonian.

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive. Tupac Shakur

And by the way, the turning pount in the war? Vimy. Who won? Canada. The 2nd battle of Ypres, with the gas? Who were the only guys awesome enough not to run in fear? Canadians. Passendaele? (pardon my butchering of the name) We won, and decided it wasn't worth another 200,000 lives to hold it, so we gave the Germans back a piece of land that had absolutely no strategic use, whatsoever.
I was born in the U.S. but my grandfather and ancestors came from Japan. So I will discuss both the U.S. and Japan
U.S.
We have liberated many countries from opression and violence. We were the first on the moon (allegedly). We have gain our position as a "Super Power" after WWII. We are home to the greatest sport of them all, Football.
Japan
First technologically advanced race in the early years of man kind. While many countries threw boulders and wore minimum armor, Samurai's were equiped with advanced armor and very sturdy weapons. Some of the finest craftmanship of weapons were created by the Japanese in the late 12th-17th century. Japan today is considered is now the technology capitol in the world. Most advanced electronics (Micro chips, circuitry, and others) came from or was thought up by Japan.

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
CANADA!!!
WW1
Our casualties were the least for how many enemies we killed. We took Vimy Ridge which no other country could take, after they had all tried. The Canadians first time into battle we held the line, while the other divisions from other countries fled. Paschendale, we won the bloodiest battle in the war.
Now here's something interesting.
Vietnam War
Today, I was working on an essay which included the study of Canada during the Vietnam war, we sent 12,000 troops over and lost approximately 100 of them. I'd like to see the United States' odds.
By the way, this was a war we weren't even officially involved with.
Peacekeeping.
We peacekeep, by not killing. Quite an accomplishment and not hypocritical!
And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we just not want to lose any more troops to you guys in the War on Independance? I mean, you did very well against the British Empire, but I thought we burned the White House?

It was the official site for Vietnam veterans, this was confirmed on many other sites too. As I said it's for an essay, which means LOTS and LOTS of references.
I can't say anything about any other countries because I haven't been there but I love USA. I don't always agree with everything that goes down here but I don't think I'd rather live anywhere else. However, alot of "United Statesians" don't realize that Canada does have a fantastic army, they're just smart and don't use it for everything like we do.
There is a huge difference between people born in USSR and people born in Ukraine. Which is very sad. While the whole idea of USSR was dumb, people during that period were much nicer.
just wish the government doesnt allow every bill that infringes our freedoms.
The one that gives the government to spy on us by all means.
The new one that allows them to label any citizen a terrorist if we believe anything against the government (really!) like if we tell someone we think the government planned 9/11 they can say we're terrorists, throw us in prison, or torture us. Even if we dont say it to anyone, and they find out we're thinking it, they can react to it. (loss of freedom of thought)

Pwning.
What shall we say about U.S.?
It also pwns.
All those other, less known-to-me countries?
I'll assume they also pwn.

US ftw. We beat the greatest army (at the time) with farmers and merchants to become independant.

That is it. I like this format and should stay that way. This will prevent flaming and bragging of one's country.

EDIT: Nice Equinox. So true.
And this is one thread I want mod powers in... It's gonna go INSANE as soon as I leave, in like, 2 minutes.

However, alot of "United Statesians" don't realize that Canada does have a fantastic army, they're just smart and don't use it for everything like we do.
And, I think USA has the best governmental state, so far.
But, culturarly, Europe pwns.
In terms of power, it's USA vs Russia. Possibly vs Asian countries.
Oh, btw, Israeli army kicks all countries ass, just putting it out there.
And they were eventually-to-be Ukrainians.
just wish the government doesnt allow every bill that infringes our freedoms.
