Why Every Nation in the Olympics Sucks - Image 6

A

Afghanistan – You repeatedly defeat invading forces because your country is an inhospitable hellscape. Congratulations. Except for the fact that you live in an inhospitable hellscape.

Albania – There are 91 animal species in your country considered to be globally threatened. Stop killing your animals, jerks!

Algeria – Wait, aren't you Albania? Has anyone ever checked? Probably not.

American Samoa – Your claim to fame: providing the name for a type of Girl Scout cookie. Impressive.

Andorra – Your country sounds like the name of some crappy minivan. The Nissan Andorra. Great for driving your kids to some random country!

Angola – You provide many of the world's diamonds. No doubt that's all on the up and up.

Antigua and Barbuda – Oh, jeez. Two names? Really? You're completely irrelevant by any name. Don't kid yourself.

Argentina – People might consider visiting you if Brazil wasn't on your continent. Tough break there.

Armenia – The biggest ethnic group in your country is Armenian, at 97.9 percent of the population. What a melting pot of Armenians you are. Such diversity!

Aruba – Biggest claim to fame: once name-dropped in a Beach Boys song.

Australia – Penal colony.

Austria – Oh, only the birthplace of Hitler. No biggie.

Azerbaijan – You're governed by a unitary constitutional presidential republic? Oh, please. Those never work.

B

Bahamas – Random islands off the coast of Florida don't get to pretend they're a country. Florida isn't even a country. Most people wish Florida wasn't even a state.

Bahrain – Bah and Rain. Both words with negative connotations. Combining them doesn't improve them. Would you visit a nation called Humbugdrought? You would not.

Bangladesh – Your country has 150 million people. That's a lot. Okay, everyone: Name a single famous person from Bangladesh. Annnnnnd we've got no one. Wow. You are a nation of high achievers.

Barbados – Barbados is in the Lesser Antilles. LESSER. Even geography knows it sucks.

Belarus – You are landlocked. But that's not the worst part. The worst part? The land you are locked into is Belarus.

Belgium – Your claim to fame is beer and chocolate. You are an entire country that is no better than my pantry.

Belize – You are the only country in Central America that has English as its official language. What a bunch of self-hating sellouts.

Benin – You look like a hanging penis.

Bermuda – You're totally better than any other random island off the coast of North Carolina because a style of shorts is named after you. Keep telling yourselves that.

Bhutan – Your national sport is archery. So your national sport is barely a sport. Good work.

Bolivia – You are so pointless that Mike Tyson confused you with oblivion.

Bosnia and Herzegovina – Your greatest feat of engineering was the Yugo, world's all-time crappiest car.

Botswana – You are one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. This is a polite way to say that no one wants to live in your country.

Brazil – You have a nice parade. Good for you. Probably not enough to make you a world superpower. But still: nice parade.

British Virgin Islands — "British" and "Virgin" seem a bit redundant, don't you think?

Brunei – You have 400,000 citizens. You're basically Baltimore if Baltimore had oil and few rights for women.

Bulgaria – Pretty tough to get overshadowed in your region by Romania, but you've managed to pull it off.

Burkina Faso – You are a "semi-presidential republic." Wow. That doesn't sound like a dictatorship at all.

Burundi – If asked to pick which one sounds like a real country, most people would say Eddie Murphy's fictional Zamunda over you.

C

Cambodia – We love your takeout food! Wait, no. That's Thailand.

Cameroon – Let's not sugarcoat things. Actually, maybe you should sugarcoat things. Then your country might not be liked less than macaroons.

Canada – They want to pretend they're polite? Sorry. Not buying it. While the rest of the continent is roasting, these a-holes are hogging all the cold air.

Cape Verde – Your country name translates to Green Land. So you are the smaller, lesser known version of Greenland. IMPRESSIVE.

Cayman Islands – Hey, dumbasses: People stopped being ruled by the British decades, if not centuries, ago. Overthrow them already. It's not hard.

Central African Republic – Really put a lot of thought into your country name, eh? Was the name A Random African Country thought to be too descriptive?

Chad – If you can name your country after a guy in a frat, you HAVE TO DO IT.

Chile – Really? We have to pronounce it CHEE-lay? Get over yourself. You're not that important. You're Chili.

China – You used to be an artistic agrarian society. Now you produce pollution. To progress!

Colombia – World's leading exporter of people with drugs hidden in their rectums.

Comoros – Your proudest moment is becoming independent of France in 1975. How did it take you until then to get one gun to scare them away with? Idiots.

Congo – You were previously named Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Congo-Léopoldville, Congo-Kinshasa, and Zaire. You are the Metta World Peace and Chad Johnson of countries. That's not a compliment.

Cook Islands – Let's let Wikipedia handle this one: "The [Cook Islands] economy is strongly affected by geography. It is isolated from foreign markets, and has inadequate infrastructure; it lacks major natural resources and suffers greatly from natural disasters." Paradise.

Costa Rica – You have lots of plants and animals. Neat. You're like the local zoo, only thousands of miles away.

Cote d'Ivoire – Your name, Ivory Coast, comes from everyone mutilating elephants. What a proud heritage.

Croatia – You're scheduled to join the European Union in 2013. Good timing! Who wouldn't want to jump aboard that dynamo.

Cuba – Fidel Castro was an overrated pitcher. Also, he's a dictator.

Cyprus – Your people are called Cypriots. Tip: Don't call your citizens something that sounds very similar to "idiots."

Czech Republic – Everyone always mentions your attractive women. But let's not forget about your troll-like men.
