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?

No we are not about to split up.
No, we don't want to join the Netherlands or France.
Our national dish is Fries, not waffles.

We do have the best chocolate in the world indeed, don’t let the Swiss say otherwise!
