Croatia

"There we are. Croatia. It likes football, and yet, it's home to the best midfielders in the world, George RR Martin, its red-and-white checkered pattern, the Adriatic Sea, Germany, Chuck Norris, the song Bojna Cavoglave, which is my favorite, and being better than Serbia, yet it hates Chetniks so much... which they return now from its being such a defunct terrorist organization just today."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Chetniks Ride Again
