Bonjour
Hello googlers, hello local guides family
As you know, countries and empires have always been branded with nicknames that range from the flattering to the accusatory
So I dare you to give us the nickname of some countries that you know
Let’s go and exchange our knowledge

England - land of the Poms
Australia is land of the Sheila’s (for females) so some would say, ‘Good day, Sheila’ or land of the Aussies but I don’t think there’s an actual nickname that stands out in my mind.

Apparently New Zealand is humourously nicknamed “Land of the long white CROWD”
Why? Because AOTEAROA is the Maori name which is translated as “Land of the long white CLOUD”
cheers
