Why stop at just a country? What about a continent? What about what was taken from the American continent? Gold, silver, the beginnings of democracy, the founding of capitalism, people made into slaves to do the mining for them (Europeans), food, astrology (Mayan calendar), All the land taken away from its original inhabitants, all the women raped during the process, all of the people (men, women, children) who were massacred at places such as Wounded Knee. Do you get the idea? The willing and unwilling contributions of the New World (new to the ones who didn't know it existed) are innumerable.

our country being secular & composite has the richest heritage in the world. when the world was divided into two power blocs , i.e., USA & USSR , it stayed aloof of the two giving it a defination of non- allignment. there 's lot to say but there aren't sufficient words to describe the vastness in greatness of our country - INDIA.......

Hmmm - when compared to Greece, my own, dear Norway has little to boast of. There are skis, of course, we invented them. And a kind of cheese-cutter, very handy, and of course the paper-clip. Oh, and Jarlsberg cheese, I nearly forgot that. Not a lot, I know, but we're proud of it!
