    Our capital city has a big steel tower that million people visit each year. We eat cheese, real cheese I mean, we drink wine, and we kiss a lot ;)

      Working it out step-by-step:

      Our capital city has a big steel tower that million people visit each year

      Japan!

      We eat cheese, real cheese I mean

      Britain!

      We drink wine

      USA! USA!

      we kiss a lot ;)

      Aus-tri-a! Aus-tri-a!

      So the answer must be:

      • The United States of Great Austro-Japan and Northern Ireland (USGAJNI)!

      ;)

        Almost. Instead of a big tower they have a big atom, instead of cheese and wine I would imagine they’re more into fries and beer (of which they have some truly wonderful ones) ;)

    Firstly, that’s not how it’s pronounced. Secondly, that’s not the capital.

      “That’s not the capital” tells me it has to be somewhere that the biggest/most well-known city isn’t the capital. And “that’s not how it’s pronounced” tells me the country has to be difficult to pronounce for an English speaker. Plus your other comment rules out anywhere in Europe.

      Examples of the first point that come to my mind are America, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and Vietnam. But none of those meet the 2nd criteria.

      I’m gonna have to guess Turkey, though that’s rather borderline on both the “not European” and “pronounced wrong in English” criteria, so I think I’m probably wrong.

        It is Brazil, but I was referring to the pronunciation of the city in question, being either São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro.

    I’ve been out of work for almost a year and killing my retirement savings and if I don’t make a high enough wage if I get a job we cannot meet our monthly costs due mainly to healthcare.

    People complain about their local railway service, until they’ve travelled with ours. Suddenly theirs doesn’t seem as bad anymore.

          Tell him I said what’s up.

          But seriously, what’s life like near the top of the world? What do you wish you had more of, and less of? What’s family and friend life like? Does having the internet up there feel like a benefit or hinderance to daily life? What about American culture vs Inuit? When it gets cold here (50’s) we stay inside and play board games and other stuff. Is D&D or MGT popular up there? I’m from the equator-ish region of the planet so everything about the frozen life is interesting.

          I’ve always thought that living up there would be peaceful in a “you could die just from locking yourself out of the house” sort of way and needing to respect nature so you don’t die every day makes a better human.

          Sorry if I offended with any stupid sounding questions.

          Stay toasty!
