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
We eat cheese, real cheese I mean
We drink wine
we kiss a lot ;)
So the answer must be:
;)
quite right :)
Belgium then?
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) ;)
How's it going, eh?
Hi Canada!
Watch out for cyclists when you leave the coffeeshop!
I was wondering if there were other cheese heads here 😄
Plenty of us!
We're cold and damp but our humour is pretty dry. Our teeth really aren't as bad as people say, but we generally are polite.
England?
Bingo!
Maple syrup and universal healthcare above a fascist dumpster fire.
Hi Canada!
No, grandma, for the 50th time I don't live in Sweden.
I didn't read the comm name, and just assumed I'd be allowed to comment.
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.
I'm so sorry for your struggles Mr American.
People complain about their local railway service, until they've travelled with ours. Suddenly theirs doesn't seem as bad anymore.
I've watched enough Jet Lag: The Game to be very aware of your country's train problems, despite never having travelled on it (unless intra-city services count?) myself.
Firstly, that's not how it's pronounced. Secondly, that's not the capital.
Oh, fuck, I didn't realise this was an European community.
"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 live in the wealthiest nation in the world that is led by a racist rapist. I have guns but no access to affordable healthcare.

Could be a bunch of places,
led by a racist rapist
so many options,
the wealthiest nation in the world
But thank God for this final clue ;)
Racist CORRUPT rapist.
The salsa on your left is spicy and the one on your right is not.
Since nobody replied yet I'm gonna guess Mexico because that's where I think of when I hear salsa. But please leave me hanging if I'm wrong, maybe someone gets this lol
Yay, you got it!

Y'all want some collards and beans?
Do you put pepper vinegar on your collards?
'Pon occasion.
Not every time, because I have to make my own sauce since I'm picky about vinegar on greens. But when I've had the stamina to make a batch, yes
Do you want to go out for a beer? Or 6?
Without knowing the time of day there, this could be any place that culturally prefers beer over wine.

We make a very configurable fighter jet that needs an Allen key (hex key).
Crab cakes.
Igloo
You're in the artic??
I am Canadian but not in the Inuit area. I was thinking of the Inuit and their igloos. You are correct!
Score!
Santa?
Close. Inuit in the arctic.
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!
No mosquitos
