Have you at any point had a countryboo phase? (If you feel that way still there's no shame).
Who was it and what exactly did you like about them? Your reasons can be complex or shallow, it doesn't matter.
I'm way more interested in your posts because mine is going to suck. I only did this in high school.
First it was Scotland and this honestly wasn't from muh heritaging. I started to play as them in Medieval 2 total war and the style of their units really appealed to me. I remember thinking the voice actor that informed me of things was the only one in the game that didn't sound like a faggot, and he sounded so mean whenever we won.
Then I really liked how they formed pike walls against English cavalry. We watched some documentary about the French and Indian war, and there was a very costly battle for the English where they tried to capture this fort all day and were getting slaughtered at the wall, the video made it a point that a unit of Scotsman managed to actually make it inside the fort and hold their position for hours. Well that made me tingle in history class. It was overall really shallow, I think my angry insecure metalhead teenage self just found them masculine because of a videogame. Thankfully I never even watched Braveheart until after this phase was over.
Next it was Canada, honestly. Mostly because I thought of them as like my state but an entire country I guess. This was during the Bush era and early Obama era, and my teenage self wanted to immigrate there as an adult because I saw it as free of racism and homophobia like the US had.
Both of these led to an obsessive Wikipedia period but it never lasted longer than a year. I don't think much about countries anymore, certainly not enough to countryboo anyone. Krautchan really killed that for me.
