This is another one of those threads where you give us a bit of interesting information about yourself - but in this case it is your country and it requires a bit of research, and also improves everyone's geography of your area. Don't know if this should be in the general discussions forum instead, but I wanted quite an intelligent conversation going on .
Here is an example from me:
Country: UK
Square Miles: 244,820
Population: 60,610,000
Capital: London
Currency: Pounds Sterling
Language: English
Major Religion(s): Christianity (71.6% of people in the UK claim to be Christian)
Highest Mountain: Ben Nevis (1344m in Scotland)
Population Density per Square Mile: 383 (England); 142 (Wales); 125 (Ireland); 65 (Scotland)
Climate: Temperate, more than 1/2 of days are overcast (that's why we always grumble about 'Typical English Weather')
National Dish/Common Foods: No national dish but meals consist mainly of beef, lamb, pork, chicken, fish, potatoes and vegetables.
National Dress/Common Clothes: None for England (though I'm beginning to think that Jeans are becoming a nation dress - I detest them myself). Casual clothes and very smart ones when appropriate.
I don't know actually how true some of these facts are, they're from here and there, so if some of you there think that something else is the case, then feel free to comment.
Really I have done the UK instead of England, but since I have many origins from Scotland and Wales I'd prefer to do that instead .
