    Do you have to capitalize random letters? It's childish.

    Anyway, if I had to pick one nation, it would probably be Egypt. Since the age of pharaohs, it's been one long shitstorm. Romans, Greeks, Turks, Brits, and these days, Israel. I have mixed opinions of them overall, but I admire their tenacity, to never stop fighting.

    So you admire Egypt cause they keep getting their asses kicked and then get back on their feet?

    I don't care if people rip on my ancestors. Poland has always been a land of being conquered.

    But Poland has also been a land of great thinkers and awesome winged hussars. Copernicus was Polish.

    Way to go Sherlock Holmes. If the winged hussars are so awesome why didn't they conquer Europe.

    It is when you consider that all those little countries are HRE along with the fact that Spain was a Hapsburg possession.
