For those who want to double check that it was, in fact, a Beschizza joke, a full size link where you can see the UK:

I just dont get it, What a knife island? what sort of joke is that? But is this the quality of US humour now trump rules?

Sweden doesn’t seem to have one, apart from “Visit Sweden” and “Explore West Sweden in a Volvo”.
Nyköping town has “En plats att leva” - A place to live.
Fagersta “Här får du Livstid” - You get a life sentence here.

There’s a sad irony in “Timeless Tuvalu” given that the small island nation’s very existence is threatened by climate change.
They have some amazing coins too.

Albania’s “Go Your Own Way” slogan just conjures up being yelled at by some truck driver. Why did I think a self-driving tour of Albania was a good vacation?!

I thought Australia’s was: If we didn’t kill ya, we made ya stronger!
UK’s should be: Sorry about the food.

Ha, ha, you kid. We al know Britain’s is actually “Cor blimey, gov’nor!” or possibly, "Yes, it’s Harry Potter land!"
I find “Think Hungary more than expected” to be somewhat underwhelming. What if you don’t think of it at all? “There’s NOTHING Like Australia” seems like a warning, as does Mexico’s “Live it to believe it.”

I like how the committee that created the Tanzanian one was careful to include all the leading attractions.

I’m actually genuinely confused, because all of these seem quite real.
The UK one is a real slogan, as are many of the other ridiculous ones I checked.
- UK: Home of Amazing Moments
- Finland: I Wish I was in Finland
- Armenia: Visit Armenia It is Beautiful
- Slovakia: Travel in Slovakia: Good Idea
- El Salvador: The 45-minute Country
What?? At this point I’m seriously considering the fact that @beschizza created a whole bunch of tourism sites himself, or got himself elected to each country’s board of tourism.

All within your reach, huh.
With Trump president that could be implying stuff was up for grabs.
