Iraq

Iraq is a [formerly evil] Middle Eastern nation that hasn't been an enjoyable place for anyone to live since about, well, a long time ago (Author's Note: A Google search of "When Iraq was last an enjoyable place to live" yielded two results, and they were both pornography). For many years, the Iraqis lived under the thumb of Saddam Hussein, a psychotic midget used car salesman who completely ruined the Tom Selleck Mustache™ for everybody (except for Tom Selleck). He reigned with an iron fist (well, really just a regular fist [full of chemical weapons]) until 2003, when an awesome guy named George W. Bush came along and boldly liberated those guys. As far as I know, they still haven't thanked him for that.

Dude had a throne. He was old-school.
