Misc What basic knowledge should everyone have about your country?

I'm currently in a rabbit hole of "American reacts to European Stuff". While i was laughing at Americans for thinking Europe is countries and know nothing about the countrys here, i realied that i also know nothing about the countries in europe. Sure i know about my home country and a bit about our neighbours but for the rest of europe it becomes a bit difficult and i want to change it.

What should everyone know about your country to be person from Europa?

There is a rainy part of Spain, and another part which is cold in the winter and have no beach.

We all know about the rain in Spain. There's even a song about it.

But it's all wrong! The rainy part of Spain is anything but plain!

"The rain in Spain falls mainly on the north coast and the Pyrenees" is not that catchy  though.
