I'm European and can't name it. I'm really bad at geography

Edit: looked it up on Google maps. Well... I said I'm bad at geography

ITT: People legitimately trying to name it, people saying "I'm American and I know this is fake," and people who get the joke trying to come up with a good name.

That's part of Australia. It's where they plan to host Eurovision if they ever actually win it.

To the people who don't understand, the difficulty is in fact impossible.

[–] HerrPapAbstrich@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the Basque country if the Spanish government weren't such buzzkills with their whole fighting terrorism, ETA Bad crap. But soon, soon

As an American, this one is easy. That is the strange foreign socialist hellhole with a name I can’t remember because it’s probably not even in English.
