Slovenia

"Imagine if you're in Slovenia, you'll be drinking beer, climbing on Mt. Triglav, eating pršut, supporting peace, liking the fact that Slovenia is part of Central Europe, eating žlikrofis and politcas, going on a hike, endorsing Melania Trump as Donald's wife, going to play basketball with Serbia, and embracing the time when Slovenia is the first to enter basketball in Europe, while avoiding war, annexation, and most importantly of all, making it looking like it's all Balkan, or is Slovakia. Now this war ravages it. Now I'm going in to save Slovenia."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Slovene Riot
