Re: Just for fun: Name a country, just by it's landscape
Yup, Scotland it is ! One of the biggest ancestors of the US, besides England and the UK as a whole.
I still think, was it neccesary to go to war with the UK ?
Canada, Austrailia, NZ and many more didn't.
Now according to Time Magazine : Austrailia is the richest country on earth, 2nd spot is Canada.

The 6 Giants of Global Profits - China, India, Brazil, Canada, Austrailia and Japan
Still trying to find the latest, putting Austrailia first, and Canada a close second !
Another 1 from Time :
Canadians sometimes tire of comparisons with their much more populous neighbor. But one area of contrast is looking distinctly brighter these days – the economy.
The Canadian dollar began this decade in such a weakened state that it was mocked on “The Simpsons”. But consistent government budget surpluses, high prices for mining products and oil have combined to put the once humble Canadian dollar near, and sometimes above, parity with its American counterpart.
While some Canadians are celebrating their new found monetary strength with shopping trips to the United States and European holidays, there is also a growing sense of economic unease. In some regions, particularly Alberta, the concerns are labor shortages and the prospect that oil industry driven growth will spin out of control. But in Ontario and Quebec, the most populous provinces, job losses loom as their export-dependent manufacturers struggle to adjust to both a high dollar and the economic slowdown in the United States, Canada’s major market.
Canada’s name is sometimes as shorthand in the United States for a society where liberal ideas prevail. Like most generalizations, however, it is overly simplistic.
The current prime minister, Stephen Harper, is a Conservative from Alberta who shares many political ideals with Republicans in the United States and who made repairing relations with the Bush administration a priority when he took power after an election in January, 2004.
