I have no idea why I was inspired to post this.

Note that being 'badass' is independent of good/evil.

How about Papua New Guinea? Pretty badass if you leave the coast and wander into the mountains (pretty badass if you stay in the capital too ;)).

Poland. They were forgotten and still stood strong!

Ireland.

Sealand!

Lichtenstein obviously. And all the other tiny countries of the world.

...

Except Andorra. Andorra sucks balls.

Andorra is a joke. Even most of us Europeans ignore it's existance.

Libya mother fucker!

Ooh! You haven't forgotten PNG. :)

Port Moresby has high levels of violent crime, indeed. Gangs called "raskals" in Tok Pisin. And if you wander into the Highlands, there's still tribal warfare going on - even, in some places, headhunting.

If anyone's interested in PNG, I can recommend several good books.

Luxembourg? When did they achieve a poll-worth level of badarsery?

Ireland.

Ireland's not badass. Austria is.

Sealand!

A tiny "country" that's even had its own war, and held one of its citizens for "treason". :p

Andorra is a joke. Even most of us Europeans ignore it's existance.You seem to be implying that I'm not European... screw you, you Continentalist bastard. The UK is part of Europe too. I bet you're a damn francophile too, with a poster of De Gaulle on bedroom wall and everything. :p:eek:

What the hell?

You forgot Switzerland.

Meanwhile, as to my opinions: Russia is just shitty and miserable, not badass. Poland is tragic, not badass, Luxemburg is fun, not badass, Israel is twitchy, not badass, Axis of Crap countries, not badass, US is big and goofy, not badass, China's just big, not badass.

Only the Swiss are badass, only the Swiss.

Although, I might consider the Brits, but their fueled by tea and gin, drinks o' the gawds!

Damn, I did forget Switzerland. Oops.

Damn, I did forget Switzerland. Oops.

At least you didn't...Forget Poland!!!!!!!!!

You foiled my plans to prevent anyone posting that. :mad: :p

Hmmm... Interesting...

What about Cuba? Home of the communist ruler voted forty-three times running Most Likely to Transform Into a Giant Killer Robot and Wreak Havoc Upon Miami?

Oh, and Latveria. And Grand Fenwick.

Andorra is a joke. Even most of us Europeans ignore it's existance.Well, us Europeans don't.

Poland. They were forgotten and still stood strong!What's a Poland?

Japan, on account of ninjas and godzilla.

What's a Poland?A land of Poles. Kinda like a forest, but without the branches.

I recognise only the sovereign legitimacy of the Solomon Islands and no other so-called 'nation states'. Long live Harold Keke!

what qualifies a country as badass?

I thought they were called North Poles and South Poles, respectively?

what qualifies a country as badass?

High rates of hemroids and chafing in the middle-class population.

hmmm... a nation of cyclists, eh? i vote france then, they've got that big tour de thing going on.

I thought they were called North Poles and South Poles, respectively?NB. Don't ever buy a compass off of Cabra. She seems to think that there are multiple North Poles and multiple South Poles. Everyone knows that there's just one of each. That's why they use the definite article when speaking about both poles. There were once multiple poles, but a meteors like the one that hit Tunguska hit both the Arctic and the Antarctic around about 900AD. This left only one solitary pole standing in both the Arctic and the Antarctic. This is what finally allowed for the invention of the compass, before this the Chinese had only been able to get needles to point to Iodestones . Iodestones could be suffcient in strength to covercome the shifting magnetic fields of the North Poles and the South Poles if the Iodestone was strong enough. I hope this has been educational.

Everyone knows the USA is a badass. Even the Europeans say so, though they often leave off the "bad" part.

Sealand!

HUZZAH!!!

He's not the leader of the Solomons, though.

This guy with weird eyes is:

I'll say Nepal...

Two reasons.

1. Would you honestly want to live HERE (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/Nepal_topo_en.jpg)??

2. Gurkhas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurkhas)...'nuff said.

A country that's been conquered as many times as Poland can't be 'badass.'
And the Swiss aren't really badass... what do they have, pocket knives and secure bank accounts?

It's shameful that Germany was left off the list. No one is more badass than Deutschland.

I know, and while I do not recognise the current Solomon Islands government I do recognise it as a corrupted nation state which needs the wrongfully imprisoned Keke to be released and lead the nation into glory and history!






Of course, I'm joking. :P

Of course, I'm joking. :P

So I guessed. ;)

Andorra is a joke. Even most of us Europeans ignore it's existance.

Did you know that it got forgotten so badly at the end of WWI that it was left off the treaty by mistake? It had declared war on Germany along with the other allies pretty much as a formality, seeing as they had next to no army of any kind and most of their military went on shiny buttons for guards. So when Versailles was signed, everyone was so caught up in what they were doing they forgot to add Andorra's name to the list! So it remained at war with Germany until 1939 when France declared war and they found themselves in the position of ending up in two wars with the same country at the same time. So they quickly negotiated a hurried peace treating with Germany, thereby finally ending the First World War.

XD

When was the last time Switzerland went to war? Yeah, they scare the shit out of all of their neighbors.

You don't fuck with the mountains, baby!

Israel is all kinds of badass.

I'm going to apply the term 'badass' to anything and everything, just because it's such a 'badass' word.

Where the hell is Myrth on this list?

You don't fuck with the mountains, baby!No one ever invades Switzerland because if they did all the invaders would die. Want to know why? Because the Swiss are extraordinarily boring, and only the Swiss who have developed an immunity to boredom are able to survive in the Alpine mountains for any length of time.

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

the Netherlands...while the rest of the world is strutting around trying to intimidate each other militarily...the dutch have quietly taken over your mortgages and everything else, they own you...stealthy badass,ninja bankers...

The US of A. We nuked another country. Twice. You got a problem with that?
