River's world..... 
I’ll let you know about Andorra and Spain…but does that mean speaking Spanish or Catalan? There’s more on that China story. They also placed a bounty on houseflies and wiped them out. I met an Iowa farmer who was amazed that there were no flies on farms. A few years later the songbird population plummeted as there were no flies to eat. So did they win won and lose one? But ultimately lose by winning? Hasn’t someone here talked about “so much winning”?
I’m sure there’s a joke in there about Maine being the only one-syllable state…but maybe Mainers wouldn’t understand it due to too many syllables.

Not sure why you are surprised at their election. Of course people want them to visit their cities, stand in public places for better view and shake hands with.

I don’t think I would name my child Labrador…or Newfoundland. They will never forgive me, cut me off their medical insurance coverage and never visit me in my old age home (they will have to give their name to the person at the desk!)

Good ones! I can also vouch for France – although I don’t remember them saying “please” when they demanded I stop butchering their language.

No, I don’t remember that either.

Yes, the French can freeze you out with one eyebrow if they can’t understand your French. Mostly, it is never good enough but it is interesting.

Once the French accept you, they’re wonderfully generous people. But we do tend to be the ugly Americans when we visit and they don’t suffer fools lightly.

We as the fools are their reflection of us, but smug people who smoke wherever and whenever are pretty darn low on my list of good behaviors. 🤣

If you name your child Yukon, people in the US might think you named it after the SUV.
Glad to know about speaking Danish and Swedish. I’m going to try but will be relieved when we switch to English because the pronunciation is a you-know-what.

I think the middle name should be West Virginia for that international, cross-border feel.
