Bulgaria

Bulgaria is a Balkan state and the third-largest country in southeastern Europe, which is apparently remarkable for some reason. The country contains a wide array of natural scenery, from gorgeous Black Sea coastline to Danubian plains which look terrific in most of the pictures I've been able to find but probably kinda resemble Kansas in real life. In the first half of the 20th century, they attempted to add Grecian Macedonia to this portfolio by shrewdly joining the losing sides in both world wars. Oddly enough, this unorthodox strategy didn't pan out. The Bulgarian people have a long and proud tradition of bushy eyebrows, shifty eyes and scary accents, which have drawn the fear and mistrust of all of their neighbors except for the Serbs (and don't get me fuckin' started on the Serbs).

Bulgaria is a major force in the worlds of wrestling, weightlifting and competitively making people nervous.
