Default What nationality are you, and what is good/bad about it?

I was interested in what sort of range we have on OOT, and what you think of yourselves. I know the following are present (okay, maybe 2nd gen): American, Canadian, English, Scottish, Irish, French, Finnish, Italian, Swedish (Swede?). Any others?

And what's good/bad about your nationality (you can extend this to province/state/county/city/town if you want)

For me, as English...

Good: We laugh at ourselves, we are badasses if we need to be, we're mostly polite, we just get on with stuff if it needs doing

Bad: Embarrassing binge-drinking (especially overseas), we can be rude overseas generally (we think everyone speaks English), we think we're bloody great despite any contrary evidence, we put up with stuff far too much sometimes before we act on it (eg bad service/food in restaurants), teeth
