I too would drive around Kentucky.

It's pretty fun since traffic is light in most places and we lack toll roads.  The problem is some people drive SO SLOW it's ridiculous

IF you meet more than 5 oncoming cars in an hour traffic isn't light.   

[Eddie Teach]

IF you meet more than 5 oncoming cars in an hour traffic isn't light.   

If traffic doesn't affect your speed it isn't traffic.

Germany's national soul is encapsulated in Knorkator's parody song "Deutschland ist schön"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_rcUrLajak

TRanslation of the lyrics:

Germany is beautiful, Germany is beautiful
With its beautiful rivers and beautiful lakes
Germany is beautiful, Germany is beautiful
With its beautiful valleys and beautiful mountain heights

And the forests are so beautiful, and the fields are so beautiful
And the cities are so beautful, and the flower beds are so beautiful
Where the beautiful trees stand you can go for a beautiful walk
And see the beautiful girls, so very beautiful, ja

Germany is beautiful, Germany is beautiful
With its beautiful rivers and beautiful lakes
Germany is beautiful, Germany is beautiful
With its beautiful valleys and beautiful mountain heights

In winter the snow lies beautifully, in spring it melts beautifully
In summer you can swim beautifully, in fall you can let it be beautifully
The tomatoes are beautiful, too, beautiful in salads
The pig roast tastes beautiful, so very beautiful

Germany is beautiful, Germany is beautiful
With its beautiful rivers and beautiful lakes
Germany is beautiful, Germany is beautiful
With its beautiful valleys and beautiful mountain heights

And Bavaria is beautiful, and the Black Forest is beautiful
And the Rhineland is beautiful, and the Palatinate is beautiful
And Thuringia is beautiful, and Hessen is beautiful
And Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is beautiful, so very beautiful, ja
And the Lüneburg Heath is beautiful, so very beautiful, ja
And the last corner of the Lausitz, 30 meters from the Polish border
Is so beautiful, so very beautiful.

Otherwise it's rather this:

[Bluebook]

This one captures the German national soul rather nicely I believe.

Heil, heil East Germany 
Land of fruit and grape 
Land where you'll regret 
If you try to escape
No matter if you tunnel under or take a running jump at the wall
Forget it, the guards will kill you, if the electrified fence doesn't first.

[Scipio]

When I think of Sweden, I think of this:

And I vomit.

[Syt]

I dunno, Sweden is more like this for me.

[Neil]

The funniest part of the whole thing is that Rednex is Swedish.

[Ed Anger]

The funniest part of the whole thing is that Rednex is Swedish.

And so awful.
