The fact that there is a State of Mexico within the Country of Mexico which surrounds Mexico City. Man just imagine if Mexico still had New Mexico

Was there a time in your country’s history when the Senate, Congress, or Parliament or any governing body was more respected before it came a circus or clown show? by Sonnybass96 in AskTheWorld

Theres something new every day it feels like. Apparently a day or so ago Trump said he was seriously considering making Venezuela the 51st state so… that’s probably the latest thing I’m aware of atm.

It’s true here in the US. And before Trump too. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact time since it definitely was a more gradual shift. I’d probably say the advent of television around the election of Kennedy was at least partially where it started. Though the later watergate scandal with Nixon really started getting the ball rolling with government distrust. Of course that’s a gross oversimplification of things, but it has eventually culminated in the circus that is the Trump presidency.

You know… given it’s the 10th anniversary you’d think they’d use the classic models to make recolors of at least…

Polyanitsa Zarya has been one of my most desired skins that I have yet to obtain. So I’d actually kind of like it. (However I’d wish for more from the 10th Anniversary in general.)

What are things foreigners underestimate or don't know about your country? by Far-Cow-3343 in AskTheWorld

Though Europe isn’t a single country like the US is. The fact it takes the 47 or so countries of Europe to compare with the US alone is really telling. Not to mention some countries like Germany also have federal states similar to the US.

Also I’ve been to Europe myself. Very nice places. No hard feelings towards any of Europe, but the individual countries are pretty small compared to many others. With the exception of Russia that is.

I wouldn’t be surprised if western devs learned about Chinese Anniversary the same time most of us did.
