Cote d'Ivoire

Known by people who like being able to pronounce things as the Ivory Coast, Cote d'Ivoire is a former French colony in West Africa. Unlike the Slave Coast (modern Benin and Togo) and the Gold Coast (modern Ghana), Cote d'Ivoire decided to keep their name based on how they were like, the main place for white people to shoot fucktons of elephants in the 19th century. That's like if instead of "Nebraska," they'd gone with "A Hole Full of Corn." Cote d'Ivoire's main contributions to the world are Didier Drogba and the positive proof that French is a pretty sexy language even when it's being shouted at you from beneath a black woolen balaklava while the speaker fires a rusting AK-47 into the ceiling.

You're goddamn right I come from Cote d'Ivoire.
