Every easter, we go from door to door and beat girl’s backs with a whip made of braided rods. They give us sweets and alcohol for exchange.
Czech or Slovakia.
It’s Czechia, indeed
Czechia or the Czech republic. Czech is an adjective, the language or a citizen. (Nauč se anglický název své země pořádně.)
Fixed
Slartibartfast won an award for something that is literally right outside my bedroom window.
Norway?
Yup
Must be a room with a great view!
We had the highest sheep:human ratio of any country. I think we still do, but I’m not sure.
New Zealand? Iceland?
NZ
If there’s water to be manipulated in a way to either keep it out, or to make land appear where water once was, they are going to hire people from here.
Swamp Germany!
Netherlands? Or Denmark.
Ding ding ding! Netherlands indeed.
It’s probably one of the best countries to live in but also comes with a big tradeoff in the form of a bad climate. People keep to themselves and avoid interacting with strangers. We’re also known for being quiet, humble and honest.
Finland
Correct
Iceland
Estonia?
There’s a word coined in this town’s specific dialect that means “catty corner, kitty corner, or diagonal”.
Hint: the first two syllables of that word are “anti”, though the “t” is not a full fricative stop.
This one is too tough for me!
What do I win? 🤩🥳
The only possible word that comes to mind is “anticlockwise” used in (some parts of?) the UK instead of “counterclockwise”… but that doesn’t exactly match “diagonally”. Is it the word though?
The word is “antigogglin’”, pronounced: any-goggln. 🤓
Bonus hint: the area fought for the North in the Civil War.
North Carolina in the US?

Florida?
This and that post about dating yourself seem awfully sus
Idaho?
We lost a land war against birds.
Emu?
Australia
New Zealand?
We have two animals on our coat of arms neither of which can walk backwards.
Australia. I feel I’ve seen a kangaroo shuffle backwards in a fighting stance. But hearing an emu can’t walk backwards sounds ludicrous.
And we eat them
I’ve been told that this way they have no choice but to hold up the coat of arms.
we’ve been the cause of two world wars
Germany?
not quite
Only two?
so far
Austria? Based on Franz Ferdinand and the painter?
ding ding ding we have a winner
Well well!
We have a small desert with cactii in a region that has snow 6 months, extreme cold for 2 months of the year.
A bit vague but there’s a handful of areas that more or less meet that description around Canada.
We have a 1/2 scale copy of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
Niles, IL
This wizard wins the cookie
Las Vegas? Seems like they have a half scale version of everything.
Nope, but its true, Vegas does seem to have every monument you can think of.
I don’t know the scale, but Saugus, Massachusetts - “Leaning Tower of Pizza”
I can go regular skiing on snow and water skiing on the ocean in the same day.
Italy?
Vancouver?
You’re closer but unfortunately you went over. (I’m in California)
I was going to guess California because I used to live there. There’s also fun in the desert just a short drive away.
We have scammers
That narrows it down to Earth
India
Got it
We don’t call them steamed hams.
New York, perhaps Albany?
Close, but no.
Utica!
Again close.
Springfield
Sadly no.
