I think Sweden is a city in Switzerland, and that all Swedish parents spank their children regularly.
I also assume that all Swedes sound like the Swedish chef from the Muppet Show.
Well..... Mozart was born in Salzburg, which was at that time part of the German empire though, hence the back and forth whether he was Austrian or German. I'd say both... Beethoven was born in Bonn. That settles that... lol
Musically, Mozart was essentially the first Rockstar ever. His works are easy to listen to. Beethoven is heavier, more complex.

When are Germany and Austria going to become one again? I know it wasn't very popular the first time but might as well try it again.
Brits are apparently all posh tea drinkers, when in reality we have a serious knife crime / drug problem up and down the country.
People from other countries know there is a country called Belgium?
In general I like:
- The Germans for being able to speak more then 1 language even tough they don't really have to
- The Portugese, because there country is stunningly beautiful and very friendly to tourists.
- The Irish, because we have many Irish pubs in my city.
- The Americans, because I can spot them easily and they tend to be very friendly and open even tough they seem a bit out of there comfort zone when they aren't on US soil
- The Pakistanians, because they keep open all the nightshops.

My Austrian history is lacking. If there was some kind of unification prior then I'm not really aware of it. Our central-west European history is really lacking in the UK, I hadn't even heard of the Holy Roman Empire until I was 16-17. It was never once mentioned in a history class and I only heard it because I was talking to a friend doing history at university.
